Paper Phenolic Laminate Overview
Paper phenolic laminate is a versatile thermoset material made from layers of paper impregnated with phenolic resin. Known for its excellent electrical insulation properties, mechanical strength, and durability, it is widely used in both electrical and structural applications. The laminate is available in different grades, such as XX, which provides superior wear resistance and mechanical strength, and XXX, which offers enhanced rigidity, moisture resistance, and higher electrical insulation for demanding environments. Paper phenolic laminate is ideal for components like switchboards, electrical housings, and spacers where both insulation and mechanical performance are required.
XX Papier Phenolharz-Laminat und XXX Paper Phenolic Laminate are both composed of layers of paper impregnated with phenolic resin, offering good electrical insulation and mechanical properties, but they differ in performance levels:
-
XX Papier Phenolharz-Laminat: This grade provides good mechanical strength and moderate electrical insulation properties, making it suitable for mechanical and structural applications where electrical insulation is not the primary concern. It is often used in components such as panels, spacers, and switchboards.
-
XXX Paper Phenolic Laminate: This higher-grade laminate offers superior electrical insulation and enhanced mechanical properties, making it ideal for demanding electrical applications. It is commonly used in transformers, electrical switches, and other components that require excellent insulation performance.
