Tufnol Rods, also known as phenolic resin rods, are renowned for their exceptional durability, mechanical strength, and electrical insulation properties. Manufactured from layers of paper, cotton fabric, or glass cloth impregnated with phenolic resin, Tufnol rods offer a unique combination of properties that make them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. From electrical insulation and mechanical components to tooling and bearings, Tufnol rods provide reliable solutions in demanding environments. Tufnol rods offer excellent electrical insulation properties, making them suitable for use in electrical and electronic applications where protection against electrical currents is required. They provide reliable insulation and prevent electrical hazards. Tufnol rods exhibit high mechanical strength and stiffness, surpassing many other engineering plastics. Their excellent compressive, tensile, and flexural strength make them suitable for applications requiring load bearing capacity and structural integrity. Tufnol rods are easy to machine using standard tools and techniques such as cutting, drilling, turning, and milling. They can be machined to tight tolerances and complex shapes, making them suitable for custom components and prototypes. Tufnol rods maintain their shape and dimensions over a wide range of temperatures and environmental conditions, ensuring precise and consistent performance in critical applications. They resist thermal expansion and contraction, minimizing the risk of dimensional changes or distortion over time.  Tufnol rods, being composed of paper, cotton fabric, or glass cloth impregnated with phenolic resin, can be recycled through appropriate recycling processes, contributing to environmental sustainability by reducing waste and conserving resources. Our Tufnol rods are available in different diameters, lengths, and grades to suit specific project requirements.
