Bakelite rods, also known as Hylam rods, phenolic laminate rods, SRBP rods, or SRBF rods, are solid round bars made from phenolic resin bonded with paper or fabric reinforcement. These rods are used where electrical insulation, heat resistance, and mechanical strength are required.
Bakelite rods are produced by applying heat and pressure to
resin-impregnated paper or fabric layers, forming a thermosetting
laminate. Once cured, the material becomes hard, dense, and stable,
retaining its properties even under continuous electrical and thermal
stress.
The performance of phenolic rods depends on resin quality, reinforcement type, and dimensional control. Our Bakelite [Hylam] rods are manufactured to deliver consistent insulation and reliable machining performance.
