Phenolic Cotton Cloth Laminated Sheets is a laminated material made by hot pressing of cotton cloths impregnated with a thermosetting phenol-formaldehyde-based binder.
Bakelite sheet is a hard, dense material made by applying heat and pressure to layers of cotton cloth impregnated with Phenolic Resin (synthetic Resin). When heat and pressure are applied to the layers, a chemical reaction (polymerization) transforms the layers into a high- pressure thermosetting industrial laminated plastic.
Due to the use of cotton cloths, the phenolic cotton cloth mixture has high compression strength and increased resilience, favorably lends itself to machining by drilling, cutting and forging. That is why the phenolic epoxy resin cotton cloth laminated sheets are widely used to make parts loaded with reversed electrical and mechanical stresses or working under friction (bushings, cams, etc.).
BAKELITE sheet is also known as Hylam sheet, Tufnol sheet, Norplex Sheet, Micarta Sheet, Synthetic Resin Bonded Paper Base Sheet (SRBP), Phenolic Sheet, Fabric Sheet, Laminated Sheet, Synthetic Resin Bonded Fabric Base Sheet (SRBF).
