Phenolic cotton materials are the workhorse grades for general mechanical applications |
 |
|
They are strong and tough with very good wear resistance and they are easy to machine into finished components |
|
|
They are available with cotton fabric reinforcements ranging from fine weave to coarse |
|
|
In general, the medium to coarse weave grades are used for larger and more rugged components requiring good all round strength and toughness |
|
|
The finer are chosen for their superior finish, higher dimensional stability, and improved strength in thin sections |
