Question

Mention properties and uses of bakellite.

Answer 1

uses of bakellite

Bakelite due to its high resistance to electricity and heat is used in automotive components and industrial applications. Due to its excellent insulating properties it is used for making switches and other electrical appliances. It is also used to make various kitchenware products like frying pans etc.



properties of bakellite

Bakelite has a number of important properties. It can be molded very quickly, decreasing production time. Moldings are smooth, retain their shape and are resistant to heat, scratches, and destructive solvents. It is also resistant to electricity, and prized for its low conductivity.


Thermal conductivity:

0.2 W/(m·K)

Heat capacity (C):

0.92 kJ/(kg·K)
