Phenolics are a uniformly dense and structurally
strong material that will not soften appreciably under the reapplication
of heat. It is an extremely durable plastic that is lightweight and
moisture resistant. Industrial laminates are thermoset resin impregnated
reinforcing materials (paper, cotton fabric, glass fabric, etc.) that are
cured under heat and pressure to form solid shapes having high mechanical
and electrical insulating properties. Laminates are available in sheet,
rod, tube, and angle. Since laminates are comprised of a combination of
materials, they are also referred to as composites.

C and CE Cotton Fabric Reinforced Phenolic - natural (light tan
to brown) Technical Data
Sheet
Chemical Resistance Chart
C, CE Sizes and Prices
This grade is composed of a continuous cotton woven cloth impregnated with
a phenolic resin binder. This grade contains a medium weave canvas and is
known primarily for it's mechanical properties. This grade is not
recommended for primary insulation.
Certifies to Mil-I-24768/14 FBG

L and LE Fabric Reinforced Phenolic - natural (light tan
to brown) Technical Data
Sheet
Chemical Resistance Chart
L, LE Prices and Sizes
This grade is composed of a continuous cotton woven cloth impregnated with
a phenolic resin binder. This grade contains a fine weave linen and, like
the canvas phenolic, is known for it's mechanical properties. The finer
weave allows for machining more intricate details than Canvas, like gear
teeth. This grade is not recommended for primary insulation.
