Physical strength, resiliency, ease and versatility of fabrication, and excellent electrical properties make phenolic laminates useful as support components in a wide range of mechanical and electrical applications. Phenolic laminates are strong, stiff, and have high impact and compressive strengths. They do not soften upon re-heating, so they are easy to saw, drill, tap, and machine with ordinary tools. Glass-based grades have the highest dimensional stability and mechanical strength, as well as low moisture absorption. However, they are not as easily machined as paper or cotton fabric laminates.
