Product Description
Phenolic materials were first used as insulation in the electrical industry with the invention of Bakelite about one hundred years ago. Since that time, the chemistry, additives and processing have been highly refined. Today, Phenolic materials are found in all facets of our daily lives. They insulate our electric light bulbs and beautify the counter tops in our kitchens. Handles on our pots and pans withstand high temperatures. Massive mounting bases support high voltage switching equipment.

Iten Industries processes Phenolic resin into a wide range of laminates that find their way into market areas from high voltage electrical, low voltage electrical to laser engraved signage. The laminate sheets are processed by the compression molding method. A wide range of reinforcing substrates is used. A full spectrum of sizes and thicknesses is available.
