Bakelite / Phenolic
Format : Sheet, Rod
- Excellent dielectric strength
- Good machinability
- Heat and wear and tear
- Resistance to corrosion and chemicals
- Possess mechanical strength and dimensional stability
- Low moisture absorption
2 types of Bakelite / Phenolic :
- Paper Based; laminated manufactured by Kraft paper impregnated with synthetic resin
Application : electrical machinery equipment such as switchboards, electricity transformer, jig and fixture, automobile parts such as bearing, gear.
- Cloth Based; laminated manufactured by cloth impregnated with synthetic resin. It possesses mechanical strength and impact strength, but has higher water absorption rate compared to paper-based.
Application : Electrical machinery components and tools with need impact resistance such as gear and washer
