General Info
Phenolic X, XX, and XXX (Paper Base / Phenolic Resin) are available in Mechanical and Electrical grades are available which are excellent choices for intricate punch parts, insulating washers, spacers, terminal boards, switch bases, and other electrical components. Phenolic XX is commonly used as table saw blade inserts. The "X" designations generally distinguish manufacturing processes which result in different levels of electrical properties (i.e., dielectric strengths). Paper-based phenolics are available in a variety of sheet, rod, and tube sizes.

Note: The properties of industrial laminate composites will vary depending on reinforcement orientation and process. The "X-Y" Direction are taken in the the reinforcement direction and will typically be higher than the cross "Z" direction, which is made up of the binding resin layer and is typically lower.
X-Y Direction properties are listed below for laminated sheet, see the Key Properties Tab for the Z direction values for laminated sheet.
Please contact us for properties specific to tube, rod or other shapes.

Manufacturer Trade Names
Boedeker Plastics, Inc. stocks & supplies plastic sheet, rod, tube, film and custom profiles and machine parts from these shapes that are produced from plastic resin. In many cases the manufacturer of the shape has their own product trade name. If your specification calls for a specific resin grade or manufacturer trade name, we can supply a shape made from that resin to meet your specification or suggest an equal. If you require a specific resin or brand it must be specified at the time of order.
