Sirs,

There is a material that is supplied in sheets of varying
thicknesses, colored red, that makes excellent insulating boards.
Does anyone know its trade name or who sells it?

Thanks,

Tufnol (or similar spelling) is one possibility. You can get it from RS components in the UK, althouhg they have a international presence. It is a very good insulator, but not exactly inexpensive if I recall correctly.

Tufnol is a machinable grade of plain old-fashioned phenolic (Brit: paxolin).


The big UK electronics distributors like RS Components and Farnell are incredibly expensive for engineering materials - you should see what they charge for that extra "i" in aluminium.
