Phenolic Backing Sheets

Overview

Originally developed for the printed circuit fabrication industry, modern backing materials have proven to be indispensible for for operations as disparate as;

  • drilling and contouring thin substrates
  • cutting inlay components for musical instruments
  • fixturing delicate materials for surfacing, drilling and contour cutting
  • setting up arrays of components for thinning and shaping
  • test cutting patterns with delicate microtools

with new uses being developed every year.

Specifications

  • Tempered phenolic paper
  • 0.093" (2.4mm) thck
  • Max. operating temp.: 140°C

Benefits

  • Excellent moisture resistance
  • Tempered surface increases exit shear for burr free drilling and routing
  • Phenolic core cools the tip of cutting tools for prolonged life
  • Excellent adhesion to a wide variety of glues and adhesives
  • Impervious to acetone, mineral spirits and other common solvents
  • Acts as a sacrificial spoil board to protect the bed of the CNC during drill in contouring operations

Applications

  • Backing material during drilling operations
  • Secure fixturing of mother-of-pearl and other materials for cutting inlay components

Shipping

  • Substrate sizes require the use of "dimensional weight" for shipping calculations
