Physical strength, resiliency, ease and versatility of fabrication, and excellent electrical properties make Phenolic Laminates useful as support components in a wide range of mechanical and electrical applications. Phenolic Laminates are strong, stiff, and have high impact and compressive strengths. And they do not soften upon re-heating, so they are easy to saw, drill, tap, and machine with ordinary tools.
This grade is composed of a continuous glass woven cloth base impregnated with a melamine resin binder. Melamines are the hardest of all laminates, exhibiting good dimensional stability and arc resistance.
