Phenolic cotton

Phenolic cotton resins are thermoset resins which are commonly filled with organic and inorganic fillers, fibers or fabrics. Phenolic cotton Fillers include woven glass cloth, random glass mat, glass filaments, woven canvas cotton fabric, woven linen cotton fabric, paper, woven aramid fabric, random mat graphite and others.

The phenolic cotton resins and fillers are then formed into plastic laminates. This is done by laying thin sheets of the phenolic cotton resin-impregnated material upon eachother, and molding or pressing them into a solid mass which takes on the shape of the moulding instrument.

Phenolic cotton plastic supplier?

Phenolic cotton is a range of resin impregnated compressed laminated composites. Phenolic cotton has excellent machining qualities - tough and rugged. Superb temperature performance. Vast range of machining processes possible with phenolic cotton. Weather resistance is also a strong feature of phenolic cotton.

Phenolic cotton plastic properties and applications

Paper-based phenolics is more economical than phenolic cotton while providing significant electrical and mechanical properties. Phenolic cottons have greater impact strength, machinability, and resistance to corrosion. Glass based grades of exhibit low moisture absorption, dimensional stability, and the highest mechanical strength, but are not as easily machined as phenolic cotton. Compounds of phenolic cotton, overall, are characterized as having good electrical qualities, excellent mold ability and dimensional stability. Phenolic cottons are chemical, water, heat and flame resistant with low smoke generation and toxicity.

Special grades of phenolic cotton are also produced, to provide maximum dimensional stability at high temperatures and in steam, better machining qualities (fine tooth gears), and crack and electrical resistance.
