Characteristics of Phenolic Plastic
Phenolic Plastic is a type of thermosetting plastic material known for its physical and molding properties. Phenolic caps have strength and durability with heat-resistant and insulating properties.
Phenolic Properties:
- Excellent insulation strength
- Lightweight
- Heat and wear resistant
- Known for its resistance to chemical corrosion
- Good mechanical strength & dimensional stability
- Low moisture absorption
Phenolic Plastic History:
In 1907, Dr. Leo Baekeland discovered phenolic plastic and soon after patented the material. This would become the first entirely synthetic material to be produced in large quantities.
