Whale Tufnol Rod

Whale grade phenolic laminate rod is a high‑performance engineering material combining resin‑bonded fabric reinforcement with excellent mechanical strength and dimensional stability. Supplied in rod form, it is ideal for precision‑machined components requiring good load‑bearing capacity and wear resistance.

This material offers outstanding electrical insulation, low moisture absorption and reliable performance across a wide temperature range. It is widely used in marine, automotive and general industrial applications where tough, rigid and vibration‑resistant parts are required.

• High mechanical strength and rigidity for structural and load‑bearing components
• Good wear resistance and low friction for bushes, bearings and wear pads
• Excellent electrical insulating properties for terminal posts and spacers
• Low moisture absorption for dimensional stability in humid or marine environments
• Good machinability for accurate turned and milled parts from rod stock
• Thermal and chemical resistance suitable for demanding industrial service
