Linen L/LE Linen Fabric
Reinforced Phenolic Tubing - natural(light tan to
brown) Technical Data Sheet
This grade is composed of a continuous Linen woven cloth
impregnated with a phenolic resin binder. This grade contains a fine weave linen
and, like the canvas phenolic, is known for it's mechanical properties. The
finer weave allows for machining more intricate details than Canvas, like gear
teeth. This grade is not recommended for primary insulation.
NEMA grades L and LE Linen Cotton-Cloth
Reinforced Phenolic -- natural color is typically light tan to brown. This grade
is composed of a continuous cotton woven cloth impregnated with a phenolic resin
binder. This grade contains a fine weave linen and, like the canvas phenolic, is
known for its mechanical properties. The finer weave allows for machining more
intricate details than canvas grade, such as gear teeth, etc. These grades are
not recommended for primary electrical insulation, but grade LE exhibits
superior moisture resistance to grades L, C and CE, and thus is an adequate
insulator for a fair number of applications.
