Overview
Phenolic Laminates are made by applying heat and pressure to layers of paper, canvas, linen or glass cloth impregnated with synthetic thermosetting resins. Which offers excellent physical strength, resiliency, ease and versatility of fabrication. They don’t soften upon re-heating, so they are easy to saw, drill, tap, and machine with ordinary tools. Suited for support components in a wide range of mechanical and electrical applications because they resist corrosion and provide electrical insulation. Material data provided by Boedeker Plastics.
