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 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.
- Easy to machine
- Good wear resistance
- Low moisture absorption
- Good mechanical strength
- Strong and stiff
- High impact and compressive strength
- Excellent moldability/stability
- Good water and chemical resistance
- Good electrical properties
