Description
Phenolic LE Round Tube Description
LE Phenolic grade is composed of a continuous linen woven cloth impregnated with a phenolic resin binder. This grade contains a fine weave linen, which allows for machining more intricate details compared to Canvas Phenolic, such as gear teeth. LE Phenolic is known for its strong mechanical properties, including good wear resistance, low moisture absorption, and excellent impact and compressive strength. However, it is not recommended for primary insulation applications.
