BP18NPM Phenolic Composite Sheet – High Strength & Low Moisture
BP18NPM is a natural colored composite made from a 24 oz/sq. yd canvas which is passed through the treater twice to insure impregnation of the fibers and to obtain the resin content desired for optimal performance. The resin system is a molybdenum disulfide filled phenolic with good impregnation qualities and cured hardness.
