Permali
For the motorsport industry we stock standard and bespoke size boards in Jabroc to suit most LMP or formula cars.
We also carry a range of metric fasteners and round rods. Boards not on stock and machined components are made to order with competitive lead times with urgent parts manufactured to meet your requirements where possible.
Permali
Densified Wood Laminate
Read More
Permali has a unique combination of properties – good dielectric strength, high strength / weight ratio, resistance to wear and fatigue, good thermal insulating properties – and it can be machined to an accuracy approaching that achieved with metals. It is an outstandingly successful material and is available in the form of sheets, rings, rods and machined parts.
Permali is used extensively in the Cryogenic market for Pipe Support Blocks, Cold Shoe Blocks and Tank Support Blocks both for land storage tanks and ocean vessels. Permali is approved by all the major ship Classification Societies and we work closely with leading universities, such as Southampton, for independent testing where necessary.

Jabroc in Motor Sport
Jabroc is a non-impregnated, densified wood laminate developed especially for a wide range of industrial applications including Motor Sport. The grade specially produced for this industry is constructed to the highest density possible using thin veneers producing a dense, stable, high strength laminated board with excellent wear resistance.
Read More
Jabroc offers high stability, increased strength, stiffness and improved life when replacing hardwood, and on the other hand, reduced weight, shorter machining times, is non-sparking and non-conductive when replacing metals. Jabroc has half the strength of steel at only one fifth of the weight.
Jabroc is an established product and is in use world wide in all racing series including F2, F3, Formula E, F4, LMS, ALMS, Formula BMW, Formula Renault, Formula Ginetta and others.
Standard sheets of size 2000 x 1000 mm, from 4 mm thickness and upwards, are available from stock both in the UK and at our sole appointed US Distributor, Pegasus Auto Racing Supplies Inc. Other sizes are available to order and our comprehensive CNC machining facilities allow us to produce complex custom parts to suit specific customer requirements.
Typical Markets include:

Jabroc ‘N’
Densified Wood Laminate
Jabroc ‘N’ is a special grade densified wood laminate with 6% hydrogen content ideally suited for Neutron Shielding. It is completely uniform, has high mechanical strength, is resistance to impact forces and can be readily machined to engineering tolerances. Its relative lightweight and cleanliness in handling are additional important features in the standard design of neutron shielding equipment.
Read More
Jabroc ‘N’ has been used extensively for over 40 years without any known deterioration of properties. Typical applications include glovebox shielding, internal vehicle shielding, transport stillages, fuel flask shielding, room and wall shielding, bespoke shielded drum storage facilities and for shielding various project specific fuel handling and processing equipment.
We can also offer advice on shield design using our Jabroc ‘N’ and a full CNC machining service with assembly with other shielding materials if required. We also offer a full machining service for Premac Lead Acrylic Resin.
Typical Markets include:
Nuclear
