Hardwood/Densified Wood Blocks

Hardwood blocks are usually made of beech wood hardened by the use of phenol resins applied at high temperatures. As a result, an optimal isolating product is obtained with an excellent resistance and almost no humidity absorption.

Probably the most important feature of hardwood blocks is that their maximum mechanical strength can be developed in any required direction to suit specific applications. The material has a unique combination of properties – good dielectric strength, high strength / weight ratio, resistance to wear and fatigue, good thermal insulating properties – and it can be machined to an accuracy approaching that of achieved with metals.
