Abstract

Eight representative types of phenolic laminates were immersed in various aqueous chemical solutions for 6 months and tested periodically for weight change, dimensional change, and strength losses. On the whole, any laminate which has the desired properties after prolonged immersion in water alone would also be satisfactory for other field conditions, with the exception of a strong acid condition or any alkaline condition. Where alkaline or strong acid conditions are involved, special care must be taken in the selection of laminates to be used.
