G-10 is a type of fiberglass epoxy laminate that can be used to make circuit boards. It is a fiberglass laminate made up of woven fiberglass and an epoxy resin binder.[1]

It is created by stacking multiple layers of glass cloth, soaked in epoxy resin, then compressing the resulting material under heat until the epoxy cures.[2]

It is a thermosetting composite material.[1]

G10 is from Boedeker Plastics.

Its name, G-10, comes from NEMA.[2]
