Phenolic Sheet Material

Phenolic sheets are made from blended layers of cotton, paper, glass, and fabric. These layers are heated, pressurized, and filled with high-strength synthetic resin, forming an extremely durable yet lightweight material. While phenolic sheeting can be used in a wide range of industries, it is popular for electrical and electromechanical applications due to its excellent insulation properties.

At Ace Seal, we offer a large selection of standard and custom-cut rubber sheet materials to provide you with exactly what you need. Contact us with any questions or to learn more about phenolic sheets.
