Phenolic resins have good chemical and thermal resistance, are inherently low in flammability, and are generally lower in cost when compared with other resin types. Phenolic resins are amber in color and have relatively lower impact strength. Applications are very diverse and range from decorative laminate to brake linings to bearing cages and various wear parts.

Substrate
Fiberglass comes in many forms. From woven to continuous filament mat, galss based substrates are used in electrical and high temperature applications.
Cotton or Linen can be an excellent choice of substrate in both electrical and mechanical applications.
Paper based grades are often used in electrical applications where the material can be punched due to its relatively thin requirements. Paper based materials can include covers of various color to provide a distinct appearance.
