    Arboron SheetArboron is a composite of papers impregnated with a phenolic thermosetting resin with an outer layer of melamine on the top surfaces. It is consolidated under high pressure and temperature into dense, uniform sheets with good electrical and mechanical properties. The melamine surface of Arboron provides excellent electrical, creep, chemical and abrasion resistance. It’s very high strength-to-weight ratio and relative ease of fabrication make Arboron your first choice for new designs.

     

    Resiten SheetResiten is a recognized brand of NEMA rated, paper grade laminates produced by Iten Industries. Iten processes phenolic resin into a wide range of composite laminates that find their way into market areas from high and low voltage electrical to laser engraved signage. The laminate sheets are processed by the compression molding method and a wide range of reinforcing substrates is used.

    Ryertex®- High Performance Phenolics

    Ryertex®- High Performance PhenolicsRyertex is a family of thermoset laminate composites used mainly as a replacement to metal in applications where high speed, load, and temperatures are involved. Ryertex is used around the globe in a wide array of industrial applications to include steel, aluminum, and copper processing, paper and lumber mills, oil and gas, mining, military, aerospace, rail, locomotive, off-road and construction equipment.

    The Ryertex line includes all NEMA grades with substrates including paper, cotton, linen, fiberglass, and aramid fiber. The resin system can be phenolic, epoxy, silicone, or melamine.

    While Ryertex is a very commonly recognized brand name, there are a number of other names in the marketplace that are thermoset laminate composites. These include: Micarta, Bakelite (see below), “Phenolic”, Resiten, Garolite, Acculam, Lamitex, Gatke, Scan Pac, Spauldite, Phenolex, Tufnol, Lamigamid, Schwartz, Current, and Synthane. WS Hampshire can cross reference your requirements to the corresponding Ryertex offering.

    Thermoset laminates were first developed by Leo Baekeland in 1907 when he introduced Bakelite, a non-flammable thermoset utilizing phenolic resin with a paper substrate. This material has been used in everything from engine parts to jewelry to electronics. Products that were originally made from Bakelite include telephone mouth and ear pieces, buttons, and frying pan handles.

    Ryertex was first introduced in the 1930’s as a replacement to metal. Demand grew shortly thereafter as World War II put a strain on the nation’s metal supply and Ryertex was quickly seen as a replacement in a wide variety of industrial applications.

    Today, Ryertex is a trade name of W.S. Hampshire who has built an outstanding reputation for producing high quality, custom fabricated parts for use in many industrial applications including bearings, bushings, and other wear parts.
