Raw Material for Bakelite Powder Production

According to the Bakelite Powder production plant project report, the various raw materials for Bakelite Powder production include phenolic resin-fillers-curing agents-accelerators.

Production Process of Bakelite Powder

The extensive Bakelite Powder production cost report consists of the following major industrial production process:

• Production from phenolic resins: The production process of Bakelite powder initiates with the mixing and grinding of raw materials such as phenolic resin, fillers (like wood or straw powder), curing agents, accelerators, lubricants, and coloring agents into a fine powder. In some processes, straw powder is used to replace part of the wood powder. The mixture is then heated and milled using rollers at specific temperatures for about 40 to 60 minutes. Also, in some advanced processes preheating the powder is involved in a sealed machine to form slightly fused particles before further processing in an open-type plastic purificating set, which reduces dust pollution and energy consumption. The final product undergoes quality checks and is packaged for use in various applications.

Properties of Bakelite Powder

Bakelite powder is a brown solid thermosetting polymer that has a density of 1.3 g/cm³ and low thermal conductivity (around 0.2 W/(m·K)), with no melting point due to its thermosetting nature. Bakelite has excellent chemical resistance, low electrical conductivity, and high heat resistance, which makes it an effective electrical insulator. It is non-flammable and mainly composed of phenol and formaldehyde. Additionally, it has a low water absorption rate and a distinctive odor when burnt. Its mechanical properties include a flexural strength of 80-100 MPa and Charpy impact strength between 1.8-2.8 kJ/m, which contributes to its durability and versatility in various applications.
