MIL-I-24768
Military Specifications
MIL-I-24768, Insulation, Plastic, Laminated, Thermosetting.
Specifications for Sheet, Tube and Rod, to meet military requirements. This document is the most prevalent specification for materials that will be used in military applications. It describes fairly tight ranges for many of the material parameters.
Norplex-Micarta has a set of materials that has been tested and may be certified to MIL-I-24768. In some cases this requires a special material that has been engineered specifically by Norplex-Micarta to meet one or more of the test conditions or requirements.

Although phenolic glass tubing grades are recognized by NEMA, ASTM and MIL-I-24768 standards as a material form, property requirements are undefined at this time.
NEMA Standard LI-1 and MIL-I-24768 do not recognize a high temperature epoxy glass convolute rolled tube form, but, these materials are manufactured with a high temperature epoxy resin system, commonly used for NEMA G-11 and MIL-I-24768/27, type GEB sheet products, and do have improved thermal properties at elevated temperatures.
