PHENOLIC LINEN (GRADE L)

 

B.I.R.S. Machine & Supply distributes Phenolic Canvas Grade L sheet, rod,

and tube.

 

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.

 

Phenolic Grade L Laminate Sheet is a fine weave cotton fabric reinforcement in a phenolic resin binder. The natural color is tan/brown. This grade has good mechanical properties, and its fine weave allows more better

machinability, which allows detailed and intricate machining to be possible. It has better moisture resistance than C and CE grades. The "LE" grade has better electrical properties than the "L" grade. Linen-based phenolics are available in a variety of sheet, rod, and tube sizes. This product is also known Linen Phenolic, Micarta L, and Bakelite. Garolite

 

Note: black color and other thicknesses are available

 

Better moisture resistance than phenolic canvas grades.

Meets Mil-I-24768/15 -Type FIB

For elctrical applications, use Grade LE, not Grade L

For mechanical applications such as fine gears, use Grade L, not Grade LE.
