Bakelite Sheets and Tubes

Description

Electrical Bakelite sheet is a hard, dense, and electrically non-conductive material used in a variety of electrical applications:

• Uses

Bakelite is used in transformers, motors, electric appliances, and machinery where parts need to be insulated and have high mechanical properties.

• Composition

Bakelite is made by applying heat and pressure to layers of paper or glass cloth that have been impregnated with phenolic resin.

• Properties

Bakelite is a thermosetting material, which means it has heat resistance and electrical non-conductivity.

• Grades

Bakelite sheets are produced in different grades with various additives to meet different mechanical, electrical, and thermal requirements.

• Other names

Bakelite sheet is also known as Hylam sheet, Tufnol sheet, Norplex Sheet, Micarta Sheet, and Synthetic Resin Bonded Paper Base Sheet (SRBP) Phenolic Sheet.

Bakelite sheets have several electrical properties, including:

• Low electrical conductivity

Bakelite is resistant to electric current due to its low electrical conductivity.

• Insulating

Bakelite sheets are used to insulate components for electronic appliances and electric motors.

• Vertical layer electrical strength

Bakelite sheets have a vertical layer electrical strength of at least 15.8 kV/mm in 90 ºC transformer oil.

Bakelite sheets also have other properties, including:

• Durable: Bakelite sheets are durable, waterproof, and termite-proof.
• Resistant to heat and scratches: Bakelite moldings are resistant to heat and scratches.
• Resistant to solvents: Bakelite is resistant to various destructive solvents.
• Smooth molding: Bakelite is a polymer that can be molded very smoothly

Bakelite sheets are made by applying heat and pressure to bleached or unbleached wood pulp paper that has been impregnated with phenolic resin. They can be used for a variety of applications, including fixtures, molds, motors, PCBs, and more
