BAKELITE COMPRESSION MOULDING

From its very inception, Lunar Enterprise has  been involved in production of Bakelite articles. Our journey started with development of Bakelite Drums - Take Up Bowl for the Textile Industry and now we have made our mark in Electronics, FMCG and automotive industry.

 

We have the capacity to produce more than 30,000 units per month. Other than that we offer value added services as the project demands. 

PHENOLICS : THE ORIGINAL MULTI TASKING RESINS

In 1907, in his Yonkers lab, Leo Baekeland synthesized the first man made thermosetting plastic and named it Bakelite® phenolic resin. Baekeland chose the infinity symbol to represent his brand, already recognizing the material’s tremendous versatility and near-infinite application potential. Today, after over 100 years of development through legacy companies linking back to Baekeland, Lunar Enterprise drives the leading edge in application development expertise.

​

While the Bakelite® brand still implies a pioneering spirit, it also commands the resources of Lunar Enterprise, a global corporation committed to provide consistently superlative quality and service wherever you do business.

What is Bakelite Compression Moulding?

Compression molding is the simplest process. A set amount of molding compound, often preheated or pre-plasticized, is charged into the heated mold while it is open. The mold is then closed squeezing the softened material to fill out the cavity. After enough time is allowed for the molding compound to cure, the part can be removed from the mold.

 

Cure time is dependent on the reactivity of the molding compound, its prior treatment, the mold temperature and the wall thickness of the part being molded.

DEFLASHING

Parts deflashed using hand tools and machine fixtures

MACHINING

Engineering thermosets can be machined using standard machine tools but unlike metals, they are hard, brittle and often contain abrasive materials. Hence, Special Care has to be taken while machining.

ADHESIVE BONDING

A variety of high strength structural adhesives systems are available for bonding engineering thermoset parts. Joint design, adhesive selection, substrate preparation and the bonding process are all critical to the success of a structural adhesive assembly.

Advantages of Bakelite Molding Compounds

  1. High strength, rigidity and surface hardness

  2. Exceptional dimensional stability

  3. Low coefficient of thermal expansion

  4.  Good thermomechanical properties, virtually no cold flow (low creep)

  5. High dynamic stress resistance (high fatigue stress)

  6. High resistance to media, no environmental stress cracking

  7. High thermal resistance, tolerant of temperature spikes in end use environment

  8. Inherently flame retardant: incandescent wire resistance of 960 °C, special grades full fill UL 94 V-0 in thin walls

  9. Good thermal and electrical insulating properties

  10. Improved NVH (damping) vs aluminum

  11. Tribological grades resistant to abrasion and wear
