Canvas (C, CE) Characteristics

C and CE grade phenolics are a material composed of a continuous woven cotton cloth impregnated with a phenolic resin binder. Phenolics are the oldest general purpose thermoset resin and are among the least expensive and easiest to process.

Canvas grades C and CE are a durable and economical choice for many applications. Both canvas grades offer good wear resistance, low moisture absorption and good mechanical strength. Grade C is suitable for structural and mechanical applications. Grade CE is an electrical grade canvas with good insulation properties. Characteristics include:

  • Good mechanical and impact strength
  • Withstands continuous operating temperature of 250° F
  • here to help 200Good insulation properties
  • Economical
  • Durable and stable
  • Low moisture absorption

Applications for Canvas (C, CE)

  • Structural supports
  • Piston rings
  • Gears, spacers, and bearing surfaces
