Bakelite® Resins for Carbon Products
Bakelite® phenolic resins are ideal binders for many sintering processes. Their low viscosity and high solids content enable them to permeate sintering mixes to provide strength of the finished part while maintaining high electrical conductivity, low coefficient of friction, excellent high temperature performance and resistance to corrosive chemicals. This makes them well suited for the manufacture of carbon brushes, graphite heat exchangers, furnace insulation, silicone carbide ceramics and mechanical seals. Bakelite® resins are also a good raw material for carbon foams where they can help provide high surface area and uniform pore size.
Synthetic carbon produced with a thermal or chemical treatment of our phenolic resins does not contain contaminate levels found in carbons from organic materials. Our resins can readily mix with carbon black, activated carbon or reactive solvents to increase carbon in your process and for carbon precursors. These resins are suited to the increased demands for applications such as electric vehicle battery covers.
