Lamitex® C PF CC 22 cotton/phenolic sheet is intended for use in mechanical applications requiring high impact strength. It has lower mechanical strength than materials with glass substrates, but has superior impact resistance when compared to paper based laminates.

Lamitex® XXX PF CP 24 sheet has excellent machining characteristics, low moisture absorption and excellent dimensional stability over large changes in temperature and humidity. Chemical resistance is good when exposed to organic solvents and oils. Grade XXX is frequently specified for use in switchgear, oil filled transformers and power distribution products, tooling stock and test panel applications.

Lamitex® G-3 PF GC 21 glass/phenolic laminated sheet is most frequently preferred for application that require high flexural and impact strengths and good electrical properties under low relative humidity conditions. . Lamitex G-3 meets or exceeds NEMA G-3, Mil-I-24768/18 specifications and meets UL 94-HB requirements.

Lamitex® X PF CP 21 paper/phenolic laminated sheet is primarily intended for mechanical applications.
