General Info
Fine weave cotton cloth fabrics are mixed with phenolic resins to provide better machinability than provided by the "C" and "CE" grades. The Linen-based grades also have higher density and good moisture resistance. "L" and "LE" phenolics are used for fine tooth gears, relay bases, radio parts, terminal bases and strips, often in high-humidity environments. The "LE" grade has better electrical properties than the "L" grade. Linen-based phenolics are available in a variety of sheet, rod, and tube sizes.
