Also known under the name of composites, laminated plastics are thermoset products manufactured from resins soaked with reinforcement materials. Light, dense, insulating and strong, they have excellent mechanical properties, do not soften, are extremely long-lasting and humidity resistant. The laminated thermosets are made by multiple coating process made up of two elements.
Phenolic plastics are used for electrical or thermal insulating parts; the latter are used as appliance components as well as in structural insulation devices. Phenolics are also used as control panels, gears, bushings and dyes.
Phenolic plastics are thermoset laminates known for their dimensional stability. They are considered as excellent electric insulators due to their superior mechanical properties and chemical resistance. Certain grades are resistant to high temperatures as well.
Thermoset laminates are performance materials which combine resins (phenolic, epoxy, silicone or melamine) to reinforcement materials such as paper, cotton, glass and graphite. The available NEMA grades are C, IT, XX, L, G3, G5, G7, G9, G10, G11 and filled with graphite.
Phenolic plastics are sold in standard and customized dimensions.
