Phenolic
Description
Phenolic sheets, also known as phenolic laminate, are industrial materials recognized for their excellent resistance to moisture, chemicals and high temperatures. They are widely used when a rigid, stable and durable material is required, for both electrical applications, such as insulation, panels and support parts, and mechanical applications. Thanks to their performance in service and good machining properties, phenolic sheets are a reliable choice for demanding environments.
Usage
- Electrical applications: insulating panels, supports, spacers, barriers and insulation parts.
- Rigid mechanical parts: support plates, jigs, fixtures and assembly components.
- Components exposed to moisture or chemicals, depending on the grade.
- Parts for industrial equipment requiring stability and thermal resistance.
- Tables, panels and technical surfaces, depending on finish and grade.
Features
- Excellent resistance to moisture.
- Good chemical resistance, depending on exposure and grade.
- Very good resistance to high temperatures.
- Good insulating properties for electrical applications.
- Rigid material with good dimensional stability.
- Good resistance to wear and compression, depending on the grade.
- Machines well: cutting, drilling and milling, while following practices suited to the material.
