Linen Micarta

Micarta is a phenolic resin material developed by the American company Westinghouse. It is made by solidifying materials such as cloth, paper, and plywood, but currently, International Paper, the world's largest paper manufacturer, is in charge of producing Micarta. As it is a registered trademark, no other company produces Micarta. Linen Micarta is made by laminating many layers of thin, finely woven linen and pressurizing it primarily with phenolic resin. It has excellent impact resistance and corrosion resistance, and deteriorates very slowly over time.
