PHENOLIC CANVAS (Grade C)
B.I.R.S. Machine & Supply distributes Phenolic Canvas Grade C sheet, rod, tube and cut to
size.
Phenolics are thermoset resins formed by the polymerization of phenol and formaldehyde, which can then be impregnated with cotton canvas or linen, paper, or glass cloth materials to form industrial laminates. Overall, industrial laminates are dense, strong and durable, moisture resistant, lightweight, and will not soften when heat is reapplied. Typically they have high mechanical and insulating properties.
Grade C Phenolic is made up of a mixture of phenolic resin and medium weave cotton cloth fabrics. This blend provides good wear resistance, low moisture absorption, and good mechanical strength. However,
Grade C Phenolic is not typically recommended for electrical applications. Grade C Phenolic canvas base makes it stronger and more machinable than paper based phenolics, which makes it ideal for structural supports, piston rings, gears, spacers, and bearings. Grade C Phenolic is available in plate, sheet, rod, and tube. This product is also known Linen Phenolic, Micarta L, Bakelite. Garolite
Better impact strength than phenolic paper grades
