PHENOLIC  PHENOLIC
Phenolic C (NEMA C) consists of a cotton canvas fabric and general-purpose phenolic resin. The product is easy to machine and operates with less noise than metal. In addition, this material is not as abrasive as fiberglass alternatives when used in wear applications. Since it does not spark when struck, Phenolic C can be used in explosion-proof environments.

Phenolic C material is commonly used to make gears, pulleys, rollers, and guides. Phenolic C is a mechanical grade and does not have electrical properties comparable to Phenolic CE.

Phenolic C complies with the requirements of MIL-I-24768/16, Type FBM.
