Various grades of CE Phenolic and Garolite® Phenolic material are also available. Paper reinfored: Extremely tough laminate material offering excellent flexural, compressive and tensile strength.Nylon reinforced: Features exceptional electrical properties under humid conditions along with strong anti-fungal characteristics.Linen reinforced: Ideally suited for complex, high strength parts and components, while providing good mechanica and electrical strength.Canvas reinforced: Offers good impact and mechanical strength at a continous operating temperature of up to 250☏.The various types of Micarta® phenolic material include: This results in a hard, dense phenolic sheet stock. Micarta® is produced through the application of pressure or heat to synthetic resin-impregnated cloth material that is comprised of layered paper or glass. Micarta® is an industrial laminate that is widely regarded as the premium phenolic thermoset material. LE phenolic machining is also a relatively clean and easy process that is amenable to customization. The material’s moisture rate is 1.3 percent and it can withstand temperatures of up to 285☏. Despite its lightness, the material features a high strength-to-weight ratio. While LE phenolic material is hard and dense, it is also relatively light – LE phenolic sheets are about half the weight of aluminum sheeting. It is available in sheet stock, rod, angle and U channel forms. LE phenolic meets Mil-I-24768/13 FBE requirements. However, it is not recommended for electrical primary insulation! Other benefits include high tensile, compressive and flexural strength, good resistance and strong electrical properties. The fine weave phenolic linen yields good mechanical properties, dimensional stability and a better finish for machined components than the CE material, particularly for intricate detailed components.

Phenolic is a fabricated reinforced laminate produced from a fine weave Linen/Cotton cloth impregnated with a phenolic resin binder.
