The minimum sales volume is 10-15 kg.
Textolite is a layered plastic made in the form of sheets of cotton fabric impregnated with resol phenol-formaldehyde resin. For the production of textolite of various brands, fabric of different density and interweaving is used. Fabrics of smooth weave of the warp and weft are usually used, in which the number of overlaps of the warp with the weft is maximum. Sometimes they also use satin weave fabrics with a smaller number of overlapped warp wefts, which increases the strength of the material when stretched. The nature of the interweaving of threads has a significant effect on other properties of textolite: impact strength, resistance to splitting, etc.

The main advantages of textolite compared to conventional plastics are its high degree of heat resistance and durability.
Composite material is more elastic and wear-resistant than metal. In addition, it is easy to process, and products made of it do not require painting. It is fireproof, resistant to
gasoline, technical
oils and water. Not toxic.
There are two types of product:
Structural. PTK, PT stamps. Operating temperature range: -40°C to +105°C.
• PTK, used for the production of bushings, gears, bearings;
• PT (decorative textolite), characterized by lower strength compared to PTK, is used for the manufacture of various types of gaskets, shock absorbers, bushings, rings that do not require high loads.
