Tufnol Kite Sheet

Phenolic cotton laminate kite sheet is a rigid, high-strength engineering material made by impregnating fine cotton fabric with phenolic resin. It offers an excellent balance of mechanical strength, dimensional stability and good wear resistance under load.

This laminate machine well, provides good electrical insulation and performs reliably in dry running applications. Ideal for precision components, it is widely used where metal replacement, reduced weight and quieter operation are required.

• Good mechanical strength and rigidity with low weight compared to metals
• Excellent wear resistance and low friction for bushings, thrust washers and sliding pads
• Good dimensional stability and machinability for tight-tolerance parts
• Electrical insulating properties suitable for non-conductive components
• Good resistance to oils and common industrial fluids
• Typical uses include gears, spacers, jigs, fixtures and structural insulating panels
