Interesting material, I've never used it but have a Monopan sample with glass cloth infused into it.

Garolite
Garolite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quote:
Garolite is a glass fabric laminate with an epoxy resin binder, made by continuous weaving.[1] It is a material that looks like plastic but is a reinforced fiberglass on the top and epoxy at its core.[2] G-10 is frequently referred to as FR4.

Garolite was used majorly due to its low thermal conductivity (0.27 W/m K) and the efficiency to withstand high temperatures (168°C).[4]

Although there are various grades of garolite but Garolite G-9, G-10 and G-11 are high performance fiberglass composites. Many circuit boards are made of G-10 Garolite. G-9 has a melamine binder as opposed to phenolic, and may have higher impact resistance.[3]

MonoPan® is a sandwich panel made of a polypropylene honeycomb with a face sheet made of polypropylene with fibreglass reinforcement on both sides. An additional polypropylene layer on the outside gives a smooth surface.

The face sheet is fusion-bonded with the core being a world first for this remarkable new product.
