Tufnol

This material is used for many electrical components where low voltage insulation is required. In addition, the low cost and all round properties of Grade 1P/13, make it a popular choice for many less-demanding mechanical duties. Consequently, it is used for a multitude of different engineering parts, such as spacers, base plates, side plates and simple jigs and fixtures, in addition to the usual range of electrical insulation components

Whale Brand Tufnol is a most useful general purpose material and is the most popular grade for a wide range of mechanical applications Whale Brand is a good general purpose medium weave grade for mechanical applications, where strength and rigidity are of high importance. Whale Tufnol sheet is made of layers of resin woven cotton that compress under heat to form an engineering plastic.

Carp Brand is a top quality grade for mechanical and electromechanical applications. It is made from a premium quality fine weave cotton fabric which has been specially treated to enhance the machinability. Other properties include strong with good wear resistance, excellent machining qualities, low water absorption, good dimensional stability and electrical properties are excellent for this class of material.

Kite Brand is the most widely used of all phenolic paper grades, wherever a good quality general purpose electrical insulation material is required. It is used for a multitude of different applications at low, medium and high voltages, including such items as terminal boards, mounting panels, tag strips, coil farmers, insulating sleeves and bushes, busbar supports, tool and instrument handles, coil supports, insulated enclosures, brush holders, insulating spacers and special purpose plugs and sockets.
