LE Linen Fabric Reinforced Phenolic Tubes

Le Linen Tubes

NEMA grades L and LE Linen Cotton-Cloth Reinforced Phenolic has a typical natural color of light tan to brown. This grade is composed of a continuous cotton woven cloth impregnated with a phenolic resin binder. This grade contains a fine weave linen and is known for its mechanical properties. The finer weave allows for machining more intricate details than canvas grade, such as gear teeth. These grades are not recommended for primary electrical insulation, but grade LE exhibits superior moisture resistance to grades L, C and CE, and thus is an adequate insulator for a fair number of applications.
