Phenolic Plastic

Canvas CE is an electrical-grade phenolic laminate reinforced with woven cotton fabric. It offers excellent dimensional stability, rigidity, and machinability, making it well-suited for insulators, spacers, and structural parts in switchgear and industrial control systems across Canada.

Canvas C is a general-purpose phenolic grade that combines high strength with quiet operation. It’s commonly used in gears, rollers, and impact pads where noise reduction and spark resistance are needed — including explosive or flammable environments.

Formulated with embedded graphite for dry lubrication, Canvas Graphite performs in sliding, high-friction applications like bushings and wear surfaces. It runs quieter than metal and is less abrasive than glass-reinforced materials, ideal for OEM and retrofit parts in forestry, mining, and manufacturing.

G10 is a fiberglass-reinforced epoxy laminate offering high mechanical strength and excellent electrical insulation. It's used in terminal blocks, circuit boards, and structural spacers exposed to vibration and humidity — ideal for industrial automation and Canadian power panels.

G10/FR4 is a flame-rated epoxy laminate that combines structural integrity with electrical reliability. It resists thermal cycling and moisture, making it suitable for PCBs, control panels, and high-voltage applications exposed to Canadian freeze-thaw cycles.

G11 is a high-temperature fiberglass epoxy laminate that maintains over 50% of its strength above 300°F (150°C). It’s used in furnace-rated insulation, busbar supports, and components in power distribution where prolonged heat exposure is expected.

G11/FR5 builds on the strength of G11 with added flame resistance. It performs in both dry and humid conditions and is specified in utility-grade components like arc chutes, switchboards, and insulators used in substations and electric transit systems.

G7 is a silicone-based laminate designed for arc resistance and thermal stability beyond 500°F (260°C). It's used in switchgear, motor housings, and high-voltage barriers where both heat resistance and dielectric strength are mission-critical.

G9 is a melamine-reinforced phenolic laminate with superior arc, heat, and alkaline resistance. It’s used in wet electrical environments such as motor end plates, arc barriers, and marine-grade switchgear across Canada's coastal and offshore sectors.

Linen phenolic offers a fine fabric weave for parts requiring smooth finishes and high machinability. It's ideal for precision electrical parts, small bushings, and low-friction components in automation and electronic control assemblies.

LE combines the fine machining characteristics of linen phenolic with electrical-grade performance. It’s selected for insulators, switch plates, and spacers in medium-voltage applications, where high dielectric strength and dimensional control are critical.

Grade XX is a paper-based phenolic sheet known for good machinability and excellent electrical insulating properties. It's used for jigs, mounting panels, and backplates in electrical testing and fixture tooling.

XXX Paper Phenolic provides better electrical properties and mechanical strength than XX, especially in humid environments. It’s often found in switch bases, circuit insulation, and radio frequency panels for telecommunications and instrumentation.
