What is Grade-C Canvas Phenolic?
C is a phenolic made from layers of heated and pressurized canvas fabric with synthetic phenol-based resins. It undergoes a process of polymerization, producing a single, rigid composite laminate.
Grade-C canvas phenolics offer many notable benefits. They have excellent wear, electrical, and heat resistance while also being economical, quiet, nonabrasive and nonsparking.
C properties include:
Tensile Strength — 37,000 psi
Flexural Strength - LW - A 0.125” — 22,000 psi
Specific Gravity — 1.35
Bond Strength — 2,000 psi
Shear Strength — 14,000 psi
Hardness - Mohs Scale — 103
Flammability Rating — 94HB
Izod Impact Strength at 49°C - LW — 1.95
Water Absorption (24 hours) — 1.10
Thermal Expansion Coefficient in Degrees Celsius (x10^-5) — 1.50
Maximum Operating Temperature — 257° Fahrenheit
