Sailor the Professional Gear fountain pen is now available in Micarta resin. It features a solid 21 carat gold. The cap, barrel and section are all made from Micarta resin and the trim is 24 carat gold plated. Micarta is a trademark of Norplex-Micarta industrial high pressure laminates and refers to a composite of linen, canvas, paper, fiberglass, carbon fiber or other fabric in a thermosetting plastic, originally used in electrical and decorative applications. Micarta was developed by George Westinghouse at least as early as 1910 using phenolic resins invented by Dr. Leo Baekeland. These resins were used to impregnate paper and cotton fabric which was cured under pressure and high temperature to produce laminates. In later years this manufacturing method included the use of fiberglass fabric, other resin types were also used. Today Micarta high pressure industrial laminates are produced with a wide variety of resins and fibers. The term has been inappropriately used to generically refer to most resin impregnated fiber compounds. Common uses of modern high pressure laminates are as electrical insulators, printed circuit board substrates and knife handles.
