Permali/Insulam/Laminated Beechwood TechnicalInformation
Laminated Beechwood Technical Information Permali or Insulam is
an insulatingmaterial used in applications which require high
tensile and compressive strength(see table below). In addition, due
to its exceptional resistance to moisture, itserves as a suitable
insulator where the support (flare lines & dummy legs)
isexposed to harsh environment elements. Permali or Insulam is a
phenoliclaminated (densified, impregnated wood) product made from
carefully selected thinbeechwood veneers. These wood layers are
impregnated under vacuum conditionswith a special synthetic resin
and then densified through the application of heat andpressure. The
result is a homogenous material that combines the great strengthand
toughness of wood fibers with the excellent stability and
dielectric properties ofthe most advanced thermosetting. The
phenolic laminated block material isfurnished with
cross-directional fibers as shown in Figure 10 below.
NOTE: Cross laminated.For components in compression or for parts
stressed in morethan one direction.Sizes to suit most
applications.
