Easy-to-Machine Garolite LE Rectangular Tubes

Color: Brown
Max. Temperature: 235° F
Tensile Strength: 6,000-15,300 psi (Good)
Impact Strength: 1-1.25 ft.-lb./in. (Poor)
Hardness: Rockwell M105

Easily turn these rectangular tubes into parts for transformers and switchgears using high-speed tooling. Made with cotton fabric reinforcement, they’re also good for crafting intricate items—from fine-tooth gears to control boards. Though easier to machine, these tubes are not as strong as those with glass cloth or paper reinforcement. Garolite LE is also called industrial laminate and phenolic.
