Product Description

Fabric Reinforced Phenolic Sheet (Canvas Phenolic Sheet) – Complete Guide

Introduction:
Fabric reinforced phenolic sheets, commonly known as Canvas Phenolic Sheets, are a type of industrial laminate made by impregnating cotton fabric with phenolic resin. These sheets are engineered to offer high mechanical strength, excellent machinability, and notable electrical insulation properties. They are widely used in mechanical, electrical, and general engineering industries due to their balanced performance and versatility.


Key Features and Properties:

Feature Description
Material Composition Cotton fabric + Phenolic resin
Color Usually brown or reddish-brown
Mechanical Strength High – suitable for load-bearing applications
Thermal Resistance Moderate – typically up to 120°C
Electrical Insulation Good – used in electrical insulating parts
Machinability Excellent – easily cut, drilled, and shaped
Moisture Absorption Moderate – lower than paper-based laminates
Friction & Wear Resistance Good – used for bushings, wear plates, and sliding parts

Applications:

  • Mechanical parts: gears, bushings, wear pads

  • Electrical insulation: switchboards, insulating components

  • Engineering structures: spacers, supports, and jigs

  • Automotive industry: non-metallic bearing and thrust washers


Advantages of Fabric Phenolic Sheet:

  • Combines strength and insulation

  • Less brittle than glass-reinforced laminates

  • Cost-effective and durable

  • Easily available in various thicknesses and sizes

  • Stable under load and heat


Standard Sizes and Dimensions:

Thickness (mm) Common Sheet Size (mm)
1 – 50 mm 1000 × 2000 mm / 1220 × 2440 mm

Custom sizes can be cut upon request.


Comparison with Other Laminates:

Property Fabric Phenolic Paper Phenolic Glass Epoxy (G10/FR4)
Strength High Medium Very High
Cost Medium Low High
Machinability Excellent Excellent Moderate
Electrical Insulation Good Excellent Excellent
Thermal Resistance Medium Medium High

Conclusion:

Fabric reinforced phenolic sheets (Canvas Phenolic) are a reliable solution for industries seeking a balance between mechanical performance and electrical insulation. Their adaptability, cost-efficiency, and workability make them ideal for a wide range of applications, from engineering structures to electric insulation components.
