High-Performance Phenolic BT22ZPN Tubes – Superior Density & Longevity

BT22ZPN is similar to BT22NPN being composed of an extra-fine weave woven cotton fabric combined with a phenolic resin system. BT22ZPN tubes have higher densities (minimum allowable specific gravity is 1.30) resulting in enhanced precise machining characteristics and are expected to give longer life in wear applications.
