About Phenolic Bakelite Sheet
The Phenolic Bakelite Sheet offered by us is a sheet that is a hard, dense material made by applying heat and pressure to layers of paper or glass cloth impregnated with synthetic resin. Paper, cotton fabrics, synthetic fabrics, glass fabrics and unwoven fabrics are all possible materials used in lamination. It is made of cellulose fiber paper impregnated with phenolic resin. The sheet is produced in many commercial grades and with various additives to meet diverse mechanical, electrical and thermal requirements. The offered Phenolic Bakelite Sheet is very efficient and made for various industrial and commercial applications.
Superior Electrical & Mechanical InsulationPhenolic Bakelite Sheets stand out for their impressive electrical insulation, with dielectric strengths reaching up to 40 kV/mm. Their remarkable compressive and flexural strengths enhance performance in demanding environments, making these sheets particularly suited for use in switchboards, control panels, and other electrical systems where reliable insulation and mechanical support are critical.
Precision Manufacturing and DurabilityManufactured to tight tolerances (0.1 mm) and using top-grade phenolic resin, these sheets ensure minimal water absorption (<1.5%) and moisture content (<5%). The robust bonding process imparts high mechanical strength and fire retardancy, granting longevity and resilience, even under continuous temperatures of up to 120C or exposure to oil and chemicals.
Versatility in Applications and CustomizationAvailable in standard 4ft x 8ft panels or custom sizes, Phenolic Bakelite Sheets easily adapt to diverse industrial needs. Suitable for switchboards, partitioning, and mechanical engineering projects, their smooth/matte surface and machine-cut edges provide an attractive, practical solution for both electrical and structural uses in varied settings across India's industries.
FAQ's of Phenolic Bakelite Sheet:
Q: How are Phenolic Bakelite Sheets manufactured?
A: Phenolic Bakelite Sheets are produced by impregnating layers of high-quality paper or fabric with phenolic resin, followed by hot pressing and curing to create rigid, durable sheets. This process yields excellent mechanical and electrical properties, making the material highly suitable for industrial use.
Q: What are the typical applications of Phenolic Bakelite Sheets?
A: These sheets are widely employed in electrical insulation, mechanical engineering, switchboards, control panels, and partitioning. Their superior insulating and mechanical properties, along with resistance to heat, water, oil, and chemicals, make them ideal for demanding environments.
Q: When is it recommended to use Phenolic Bakelite Sheets over other materials?
A: Phenolic Bakelite Sheets should be considered when high mechanical strength, electrical insulation, fire-retardant behavior, and resistance to environmental factors like moisture and chemicals are essential requirements. They perform exceptionally well in continuous operations at temperatures up to 120C.
Q: Where can Phenolic Bakelite Sheets be sourced or supplied from?
A: These sheets are readily available from reputable exporters and suppliers based in India. Both standard and custom-sized panels can be ordered to fit specific project needs for domestic and international applications.
Q: What is the benefit of the self-extinguishing property in Phenolic Bakelite Sheets?
A: The self-extinguishing feature greatly enhances fire safety, ensuring that the sheets do not support combustion or spread flames, making them a reliable choice for electrical panels and other applications where fire risk must be minimized.
Q: How should Phenolic Bakelite Sheets be installed and used in control panels?
A: Sheets should be accurately cut to size using the provided tight tolerances, then installed as insulating barriers or structural components inside control panels. Their electrical and mechanical attributes help prevent short-circuits and provide secure mounting surfaces for electrical components.
Q: What maintenance is required for Phenolic Bakelite Sheets to retain their performance?
A: Minimal maintenance is required due to their resistance to wear, moisture, and chemicals. Regular inspection for surface damage and periodic cleaning with non-abrasive agents help maintain long-term reliability in operational environments.
