Description
Conductive Bakelite Powder
Conductive Bakelite Powder is a high-performance thermosetting compound based on phenol-formaldehyde resin, designed to offer excellent heat resistance, electrical insulation, and mechanical strength. As one of the earliest composite plastics, Bakelite remains a trusted solution in both traditional and advanced industrial applications—including electrical insulation, automotive components, and high-temperature-resistant parts.
Its conductive formulation enables static dissipation or controlled electrical conductivity, making it ideal for electronics, meter housings, and applications where controlled resistance is required. The powder is easily moldable, offering significant advantages in large-scale and bulk molding operations.
