Canvas (C, CE)
|
C and CE grade phenolics are composed of a continuous cotton woven cloth impregnated with a phenolic resin binder. Phenolics are the oldest general purpose thermoset resin and are among the least expensive and easiest to process.
Canvas grades C and CE are durable and economical choice for many applications. Both canvas grades provide good wear resistance, low moisture absorption and good mechanical strength. Grade C is suitable for structural and mechanical applications. Grade CE is an electrical grade canvas with good insulation properties.
