We work with Grade-CE canvas phenolic materials. It’s durable, cost-effective, and lightweight. As a thermoset composite material, CE provides exceptional performance in electrical applications. Learn more on how we use canvas phenolic laminates for your project in our materials page below.

What is CE?

CE is a phenolic material layered with electrical-grade heated and pressurized canvas fabric. It undergoes a process of polymerization, producing a single, rigid electrical insulated composite.

Grade-CE canvas phenolics offer many notable benefits. They have higher impact strength than paper phenolics, excellent mechanical strength, high dimensional stability and creep resistance, and offer cost-effect rigidity.

CE properties include:

Tensile Strength — 36,000 psi
Flexural Strength - LW - A 0.125” — 17,000 psi
Specific Gravity — 1.37
Bond Strength — 1,900 psi
Shear Strength — 14,000 psi
Hardness - Mohs Scale — 100
Flammability Rating — 94HB
Izod Impact Strength at 49°C - LW — 1.70
Water Absorption (24 hours) — 2.00
Thermal Expansion Coefficient in Degrees Celsius (x10^-5) — 2.00
Maximum Operating Temperature — 257° Fahrenheit

What forms of CE are available?
