Phenolic CE Grade Sheet Description
Phenolic CE Grade Sheet is a high-quality, strong, and durable thermoset plastic made from cotton fabric impregnated with phenolic resin. This material is known for its outstanding mechanical properties, including excellent impact strength, low moisture absorption, and good chemical resistance. It is commonly used in electrical and mechanical applications where dimensional stability and performance under stress are critical.
Phenolic CE Grade is particularly suited for high wear applications, offering a unique combination of electrical insulation, mechanical strength, and moisture resistance. It is also lightweight, approximately half the weight of aluminum, and can be easily machined, fabricated, and glued. This makes it an ideal choice for various industrial applications where performance and reliability are paramount.
