NP338 is a combination of two Norplex-Micarta grades, NP310 which is a canvas phenolic, on one side of the laminate, and NP315, a canvas phenolic with graphite added as a solid lubricant on the other side of the laminate. NP338 is ideal for applications requiring high impact strength and low coefficient of friction such as railway couplers. Material is conductive to electricity and should not be used where conductivity is detrimental to the application.

MC511A is a high strength, glass epoxy laminate that is specially formulated to meet power generation producer’s exacting standards where higher strength at elevated temperatures are required. MC511A is certifiable to MIL-I-24768/3, Type GEB, IEC-60893-3-2 EP GC 203 and is halogen free to meet the European restrictions.

Grade MC223 is a medium weave cotton phenolic composite. Typical applications include pintle and stave-type bearings for rudder shafts in the marine industry. This material is known industry wide as “Marine Micarta.” This product is also suitable for heavy equipment applications that require finer machining profiles than those provided by bearing-grade laminates.

BR70 is a red colored composite made from a 24 oz/sq. yd canvas which is passed through the treater twice to insure impregnation of the fibers and to obtain the resin content desired for optimal performance. The resin system is a phenolic with good impregnation qualities and cured hardness. BR70 is designed for highly loaded bearing applications, where the lubrication is provided by oil, water or a mixture.

Grade MC320LE is a fine weave bleached cotton phenolic composite that has excellent machining characteristics and low moisture absorption. Applications include marine applications, terminal boards and parts requiring medium strength and excellent electrical characteristics. MC320LE meets or exceeds the requirements of MIL-I-24768/13 and ASMT F2953-12 Type FB. Certification to IEC standard is pending.

MC511AF is a high strength, medium weave glass epoxy laminate that retains a minimum of 50 percent of its room temperature flexural strength when tested at 150ºC. Typical applications include insulation in power generation equipment and other structural applications when used in elevated temperatures. MC511AF is certifiable to MIL-I-24768/3, Type GEB.

17 oz. aramid and "soft glass" fibers are combined to make a fabric that is stronger than pure aramid and less abrasive than glass fabrics. This material is impregnated with a high temperature phenolic resin matrix, which produces a composite with excellent mechanical strength at elevated temperatures and adverse environments. Applications include wear plates for conveyor systems, valve plates, and compressor and pump vanes. Variations of this material may be developed for specific applications.

BR60 is a black colored composite made from a 24 oz/sq. yd canvas which is passed through the treater twice to insure impregnation of the fibers and to obtain the resin content desired for optimal performance. The resin system is a molybdenum disulfide filled phenolic with good impregnation qualities and cured hardness. BR60 is specifically designed for highly loaded bearing applications, where the lubrication is provided by the molybdenum disulfide. It may have a slightly greenish tint in the finished laminate.

Grade RTB320 has low moisture absorption and excellent dimensional stability. Produced with a bleached linen and a phenolic resin system, it's typical uses include retainers for ball-bearings and applications that require fine machining characteristics. RTB320 also complies with MIL-I-24768/13, Type FBE, ASTM D709 Type II Grade LE and with IEC 61212-3-1 PF CC 21.

Being a hot oil treated version of RTB320, RTB320S has low moisture absorption and excellent dimensional stability. Typical uses include bearings and applications that require fine machining characteristics. Certification to IEC standard is pending.

Being a heat treated version of RT342, RT342H is a fine weave canvas phenolic material with fabric construction weight intermediate to RT310 and RTB320. RT342H is designed for better machining than grade RT310 and lower cost than RTB320. Certification to IEC standard is pending.

Grade RT310 is a tube made from a medium weight canvas fabric combined with a phenolic resin that has good physical properties and machining characteristics. Typical applications include textile bobbins, lap spools and structural parts that require good impact strength. RT310 also complies with MIL-I-24768/16, Type FBM, ASTM D709 Type II Grade C and IEC-61212-3-1 PF CC 22.

Being a heat treated version of RTB320, RTB320H has low moisture absorption and excellent dimensional stability. Typical uses include retainers for ball-bearings and applications that require fine machining characteristics. RTB320H also complies with MIL-I-24768/13, Type FBE, ASTM D709 Type II Grade LE and with IEC 61212-3-1 PF CC 21.

Fine weave canvas phenolic material with fabric construction weight intermediate to RT310 and RTB320. RT342 is designed for better machining than grade RT310 and lower cost than RTB320. It also complies with MIL-I-24768/16, Type FBM and ASTM D709 Type II Grade C.
