TEXTOLITE rods

Textolite rods of type HGW 2088 are made from cotton fabric impregnated with phenolic resin, formed by compression and curing into rod shapes. Due to their mechanical properties, these rods are ideal for machining on lathes, CNC machines, and other mechanical processes where high wear resistance and good insulation are required.

Main Properties:

• Excellent mechanical strength, even at higher temperatures

• Good resistance to wear and impact

• Good sliding and self-lubricating properties without added lubricants

• Electrically insulating material (not suitable for high-voltage applications)

• Easy to machine (cutting, drilling, turning)

Typical Applications:

• Sliding bearings, bushings, spacers

• Housings and supports in electrical devices

• Machine and equipment parts in textile, woodworking, metalworking, and electrical industries

• Low-voltage electrical insulators

Standards:

• DIN 7735: HGW 2088

• IEC 60893-3-4: PF CC 201

• EN 60893

• Also known as: Textolite, cotton phenolic rod, cotton fabric laminated rod, Baquelite coton
