Bakelite Product Description

Bakelite or sometimes called Phenolic, is made of insulating paper impregnated with phenolic resin and hot pressed. It is suitable for use in transformer oil, in machineries, motors and electric appliances where insulating pieces and parts of high mechanical property are required.

The insulating Bakelite laminates consist of layers of organic or inorganic fibre paper or cloth. Besides being strong, stiff, and having high impact strengths, they are easy to saw, drill, tap and machine with ordinary tools.
