2" PHENOLIC CE NATURAL 12" X 23" CNC PLASTIC (X)

Description

Phenolic
machinable plastic
s are
thermoset composite materials
. They have the advantage of high strength and stiffness achieved through a reinforcement material.
Glass fiber or woven cotton with resins including phenolic or epoxy are blended to create sheet material. This process makes phenolics generally more cost effective than thermoplastics for the same application. These composites have varying properties depending on the resin-reinforcement materials used. Phenolic plastics carry nearly half the weight of aluminum, with a physical toughness that withstands abrasion, impact, and friction and material fatigue. Phenolic plastics are corrosion resistant to most chemicals and substances.
High tensile, compressive, flexural and impact strength make phenolic plastics the material of choice for many applications.

Phenolic resins are found in myriad industrial products. Paper phenolics are used in manufacturing electrical components such as punch-through boards and household laminates. Glass phenolics are particularly well suited for use in the high speed bearing market. Snooker balls as well as balls from many table-based ball games are also made from phenol formaldehyde resin. The binding agent in normal (organic) brake pads, brake shoes and clutch disks are phenolic resin. Synthetic resin bonded paper, made from phenolic resin and paper, is used to make countertops. Phenolic resins are also used for making exterior plywood.
