Core performance advantages of phenolic cloth sheet

1. Electrical insulation

Phenolic cotton cloth board has excellent electrical insulation performance. It has high dielectric strength and can maintain a stable insulation state in a high-voltage environment, building a strong insulation barrier for electrical equipment. Moreover, the surface resistance of the material is extremely high, which can effectively prevent leakage and ensure the safety of electricity even in a humid environment. Its arc resistance is particularly outstanding, and it can withstand the arc for a long time, is not easy to be broken down, and significantly improves the operation stability of the equipment in a high voltage and high current environment.

2. Mechanical properties

Phenolic cloth sheet has high strength and light weight. This feature makes it a good choice for structural support parts, which can meet the load-bearing requirements without adding too much weight to the equipment. It has good processing performance and can be used for precision machining such as cutting, drilling, milling, etc. It is not easy to delaminate and can meet the requirements of various complex processing technologies. At the same time, phenolic cotton cloth sheet has strong fatigue resistance and long service life in a vibration environment. The insulation material  is suitable for occasions with high requirements for mechanical stability.

3. Environmental tolerance

Phenolic cotton cloth sheet has excellent high temperature resistance. It can adapt to long-term high temperature conditions, and its performance will not decline significantly even at high temperatures. In terms of chemical resistance, it can withstand erosion by oils and weak acid and alkali media, and remain stable in a variety of chemical environments. In addition, it has good moisture resistance and stable performance in a hot and humid environment, avoiding performance degradation due to moisture.

Application areas of phenolic cotton cloth laminate sheet

Electrical field

1. Transformer

In transformer manufacturing, phenolic cotton cloth sheet is indispensable. It is used to make key parts such as winding insulation layer, interlayer insulation and end insulation. With excellent electrical insulation and mechanical properties, it can effectively isolate conductors with different potentials and prevent short circuits and leakage accidents. This ensures the safe and reliable operation of the transformer and significantly extends its service life. For example, as a power transformer manufacturer, we always use phenolic cotton sheet in the transformer. This can ensure the stable operation of the transformer under high voltage and high current conditions.

2. Switchgear

In switchgear such as high-voltage switchgear and circuit breakers, phenolic cotton cloth sheet is often used as an insulating partition and contact support. It can accurately isolate conductors with different potentials, effectively prevent arc discharge and short circuit accidents, and provide guarantee for the stable operation of the power system. In some urban substations, the use of phenolic cloth board as the switchgear of the insulating component has greatly reduced the incidence of insulation failure.

3. Motor

In the manufacture of various motors, phenolic cloth sheet is used to make insulating slot wedges, commutator insulating gaskets and other components. Its good insulation performance and mechanical strength can meet the requirements of high-speed operation and high-load work of the motor. Three-phase asynchronous motors widely used in industrial production use phenolic cotton cloth sheet as an insulating component to ensure efficient and stable operation of the motor.

Electronics

1. Printed Circuit Board (PCB)

Phenolic cotton cloth sheet is a common substrate material for early printed circuit boards. It provides stable support and reliable electrical connection platform for electronic components. Its low thermal expansion coefficient and stable electrical performance ensure the reliability of circuit boards in various working environments. Although high-performance substrate materials are gradually replacing its application in high-end electronic devices, phenolic cotton cloth board still has a market in cost-sensitive electronic products with moderate performance requirements such as calculators and simple remote controls.

2. Electronic packaging

In the field of electronic packaging, phenolic cotton cloth sheet is used to make packaging shells, insulating brackets and other components. It can protect electronic components from external factors such as moisture, dust, and chemicals. At the same time, it provides good electrical insulation and mechanical support to ensure the normal operation of electronic components in complex environments. For example, in the chip packaging of some consumer electronic products, it improves product stability and reliability.

Mechanical field

In the electrical control system of machine tools, phenolic  cloth sheet is used to make various insulating supports, terminal blocks, etc. When the machine tool is running, the electrical system needs to cope with complex motion environments and electrical requirements. With its good mechanical and electrical insulation properties, phenolic cotton cloth sheet can adapt to such complex working conditions and ensure the normal operation of machine tools. In the machining workshop, the machine tool electrical system using this material as an insulating component reduces the number of downtime repairs caused by insulation problems and improves production efficiency.

Phenolic cotton cloth sheet occupies an important position in the field of insulation materials with its excellent performance and wide application. With the development and innovation of technology, it will play a greater role in more fields and help the development of industrial and electronic technology.
