Product type
Friction grade phenolic resin is a type of thermosetting polymer known for its excellent mechanical properties and thermal stability. It is primarily composed of phenol and formaldehyde, which undergo a curing process to form a rigid structure. This resin is commonly used in applications requiring high friction and wear resistance, making it ideal for brake linings, clutch facings, and other friction-related components in automotive and industrial machinery.
| Material Composition | Phenol and formaldehyde |
| Curing Method | Heat and pressure curing |
| Temperature Resistance | Up to 200°C |
| Density | 1.2 to 1.5 g/cm³ |
| Color | Typically dark brown to black |
| Form | Available in sheets, discs, or custom shapes |
When selecting friction grade phenolic resin, consider the specific application requirements such as temperature resistance, mechanical strength, and friction characteristics. It is important to specify the desired form, whether sheets or custom shapes, as well as any necessary certifications or grades that meet industry standards. Quantities should also be clearly defined to ensure proper supply chain management.
