What Is Bakelite
Bakelite, also known as bakelite, is a phenolic plastic filled with wood flour. Bakelite, formally polyoxybenzylmethyleneglycolanhydride, is a thermosetting phenol formaldehyde resin, formed from a condensation reaction of phenol with formaldehyde.
Bakelite has high mechanical strength, good insulation properties, heat resistance and corrosion resistance. It is often used in the manufacture of electrical parts, such as switches, sockets, lamp holders, etc.; It is also used for some mechanical parts, such as gears, handles, etc.
In terms of performance, bakelite has higher hardness and better abrasion resistance, but is relatively brittle and not resistant to impact. The production process typically includes the synthesis of phenolic resins, mixing with fillers such as wood flour, and molding at high temperatures and pressures.
Overall, bakelite is an engineering plastic that has a wide range of applications in the electrical and mechanical fields.
The shells of our electric grills, sandwich makers, and breakfast machines are mostly made of bakelite. Lightweight and durable, it is very popular with customers.The following are products made of bakelite material.
