FR4 vs G10 vs G11 epoxy sheet: Density and Thermal Conductivity Comparison

Density Comparison (FR4 vs G10 vs G11)

All three materials are glass fiber–reinforced epoxy laminates, so their densities are very similar:

Material Density (g/cm³) Notes
FR4 1.85–2.0 (typical 1.9) Contains flame-retardant additives; UL94 V-0
G10 1.80–2.0 (typical 1.9) No flame retardant; mechanically stable
G11 1.85–2.0 (typical 1.95) Enhanced high-temperature performance; Class F (155°C)

Summary: The densities are nearly identical, with G11 slightly higher on average.

FR4 vs G10 vs G11 epoxy sheet Density and Thermal Conductivity

Thermal Conductivity Comparison (FR4 vs G10 vs G11)

All three materials are low thermal-conductivity insulation laminates:

Material Thermal Conductivity (W/m·K) Notes
FR4 0.25–0.35 (typical 0.29) Flame-retardant; low thermal conductivity
G10 0.25–0.30 Similar to FR4, without flame retardant
G11 0.28–0.35 More stable at high temperature; slightly higher thermal conduction

Summary: G11 > FR4 ≥ G10 in thermal conductivity (differences are small).

Key Performance Differences for Engineering Selection

Performance FR4 G10 G11
Flame Retardancy ★★★ (UL94 V-0) ★ (Non-FR) ★ (Non-FR)
Temperature Class 130°C (Class B) 130°C (Class B) 155°C (Class F)
Mechanical Strength Stable Slightly higher than FR4 Most stable at high temperature
Typical Applications PCB, electrical insulation Industrial structural parts, insulation High-temp, high-insulation, high-frequency applications

Final Summary

Density: Nearly the same for all three materials (1.85–2.0 g/cm³).
Thermal Conductivity: 0.25–0.35 W/m·K, with G11 slightly higher.
G11 offers the best high-temperature performance.
FR4 offers flame retardancy.
G10 is a general-purpose mechanical grade.
