• Excellent insulation strength
• Lightweight
• Heat and wear resistant
• Known for its resistance to chemical corrosion
• Good mechanical strength & dimensional stability
• Low moisture absorption

Phenolic's Role in 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.
