Phenolic Cotton Cloth (Canvas Bakelite)
| Chemical Name: | Phenolic Resin |
| Abbreviation: | |
| Common/ Trade Names: | Canvas Bakelite,/Bakelite®, Tufnol®, Novasteen® |
| Properties: | |
| Colour | Mid Brown & Black for graphite filled |
| Form | Plate, Rod, Tube |
| Grades: | Paper, Canvas Fine & Coarse (F1,F2& F3), Graphite Filled, Glass Filled |
| Applications: | BushesWear padsRollers
Insulators Gears |
| Machining: | Machines well but produces a fine dust that needs to be extracted away from the machine operator. |
| Types: | Phenolic and Epoxide resin |
| Advantages: | Good electrical insulation propertiesLow moisture absorptionThermal stability
Strength (depends on the filler weave type) |
| Disadvantages: | Very dusty to machine. Other Engineering plastics can provide greater wear properties.Mechanical properties are directional due to the weave; components can fail along the weave which is a shear plane. |
| Chemical Resistance: | Excellent chemical and corrosion resistance |
