L Phenoic
L Phenoic Overview
What is the Material: L Phenolic is a thermoset material, which consists of cotton linen filled with phenolic resin.
Key Material Features: This material is beneficial in applications requiring mechanical properties.
Other Considerations: The finer weave of the linen allows for machining more intricate details than the canvas (C and CE) phenolic. This is useful in applications such as gear teeth. LE is the electrical grade version of linen phenolic.
