Phenolic Sheet Leecraft BK-3 3/4 inch Thick 11″ x 15″ Laminate

Description

Product Overview

The Leecraft BK-3 phenolic sheet is engineered as a high‑pressure laminate that delivers exceptional durability and dimensional stability for demanding industrial applications. Measuring a nominal 11″ x 15″ footprint with a thickness of 3/4 inch, this sheet provides a substantial material volume while maintaining a manageable weight of approximately 7 pounds. Constructed from premium phenolic resin, the laminate exhibits superior resistance to moisture, chemicals, and mechanical wear, making it an ideal choice for environments where reliability is paramount. The surface finish is intentionally low‑friction, facilitating smooth interaction with insert plates and reducing wear on moving components. Although the surface color may vary slightly due to the natural characteristics of the phenolic material, the functional performance remains consistent across all units. Detailed specifications include a product dimension of 15.4 x 11.9 x 0.8 inches, a true specification compliance, and a UPC code of 670218950031 for precise inventory tracking.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the BK-3 sheet excels in a range of applications such as the fabrication of jigs, clamping fixtures, and custom tooling where a flat, stable surface is essential. Its high‑pressure phenolic composition provides a rigid platform that can withstand repeated loading cycles without deformation, ensuring consistent accuracy in machining and assembly processes. The low‑friction surface is particularly advantageous for applications involving sliding or rotating components, reducing the need for additional lubricants and extending the service life of both the sheet and the interfacing parts. Engineers and technicians in the aerospace, automotive, and electronics sectors frequently select this material for prototype development, production tooling, and even as a base for mounting electronic components due to its excellent dielectric properties. The sheet’s manageable size allows for easy handling, cutting, and drilling, enabling rapid customization to meet specific project requirements.

FAQ

What machining tools are recommended for cutting this phenolic sheet?

Standard carbide‑tipped end mills, drill bits, and saw blades work well. Use proper cooling to minimize heat buildup and extend tool life.

Can the sheet be used in environments with exposure to solvents?

Yes, the phenolic resin provides excellent chemical resistance, making it suitable for most common industrial solvents.

Is the sheet suitable for high‑temperature applications?

The material can tolerate elevated temperatures typical of many manufacturing processes, but it is not intended for continuous exposure above 250°F (121°C).

How does the low‑friction surface benefit my tooling?

The reduced friction helps sliding components move smoothly, decreasing wear on both the sheet and the interacting parts, which can improve overall equipment longevity.
