Details on CE Rod
Ready Plastic's Canvas Phenolic CE rods are premium thermoset laminates made from layers of fine-weave cotton fabric combined with phenolic resin, engineered to provide a balanced mix of mechanical strength, electrical insulation, and machinability. Canvas Phenolic CE offers a smoother finish and enhanced electrical insulation properties compared to standard canvas grades, making it especially well-suited for applications requiring both durability and reliable electrical performance. Lightweight yet tough, CE rods maintain stability under various operating conditions, making them an excellent choice for insulating bushings, coil support, and arc barriers. This material is ideal for industries where electrical insulation, impact resistance, and ease of fabrication are essential for creating high-performance components.
