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.

The mix of cotton, paper, glass, and fabric can vary between phenolic sheeting, with different ratios of each substance altering the properties of the sheet. Generally, all phenolic sheeting is ideal for insulation projects, particularly in electrical applications. Phenolic sheet material has a high resistance to flexing and can withstand a wide range of temperatures, making it excellent for use in a diverse array of trades.

Advantages of Phenolic Sheet Material

Phenolic is tough yet lightweight and is used for many insulation applications. Its versatility and numerous advantages make it applicable in virtually all industries. In addition to excellent durability, phenolic sheets are operational within a wide temperature range of -40°F to 250°F (-40°C to 120°C). Depending on the blend of materials in its composition, phenolic sheeting can have a tensile range of 5,000 to 25,000 psi.

Additional benefits of phenolic sheeting include:

  • Abrasion & Impact Resistance
  • Corrosion Resistance
  • Flex Resistance
  • Heat Resistance
  • Lightweight
  • Low Water Absorption
