carbon phenolic

Carbon phenolic is a type of heat-resistant material made by combining carbon with phenolic resin, creating a composite that withstands extremely high temperatures. It is known for its excellent thermal stability, strength, and durability, making it ideal for aerospace applications like spacecraft insulation, rocket nozzles, and heat shields. When exposed to intense heat, carbon phenolic materials decompose in a way that dissipates energy and protects underlying structures. Their ability to withstand extreme conditions while maintaining structural integrity makes them essential in environments where high temperatures and thermal protection are critical.
