Bakelite sheet and nylon sheet are the materials we often see in the industrial field. How much do you know about the difference between the two product? In this article, we will mainly compare the differences in raw materials, characteristics, and application fields.
1.Bakelite Sheet
1.1 Raw material
The bakelite sheet is also called glue board, or phenolic laminated cardboard. Use high-quality driftwood blocks paper and lint paper are used as reinforcements and are manufactured with phenolic resins made from the reaction of high-purity, fully synthetic petrochemical raw materials as resin binders.
1.2. Features
Bakelite sheet, which is mainly used as an insulating material, has the characteristics of insulation, wear resistance, no static electricity, and high-temperature resistance. Since bakelite sheet is a thermosetting material, it is not easily deformed after being heated, so it is suitable for working under high-temperature conditions.
1.3. Application areas
Because of its non-absorbent, non-conductive, high-temperature resistance, and high strength characteristics, it is widely used in electrical products. it is mainly used to manufacture distribution boxes, motors, fixture boards, molding machines, drilling machines, table grinding pads, molds
Plywood, high and low-voltage wiring boxes, packaging machines, combs, etc.
2. Nylon Sheet
2.1. Raw materials
Nylon sheet, Chinese name polyamide, English name Polyamide, is a general term for thermoplastic resins containing repeating amide groups -NHCO- on the main chain of the molecule.
2.2. Features
The performance of nylon sheet has the characteristics of high flame retardancy, wear resistance, insulation, creep resistance, heat aging resistance, fatigue strength, and wear resistance, but because it is a thermoplastic material, it is easy to deform after being heated, so it cannot meet the required “relatively high performance”. high-temperature field (80-150°C).
2.3. Application areas
Nylon sheet is a kind of nylon-modified plastic made by adding various anti-friction materials and kneading by extruder with nylon resin as the base material. It is suitable for making wear-resistant parts of various mechanical equipment, such as bearing cages, bushings, anti-friction rings, anti-friction pads, transmission structural parts, chemical machinery parts, chemical equipment, etc.
The price of bakelite board is cheaper than that of nylon board, but it is not conducive to recycling and is more destructive to the environment. There are also differences in the main uses of the two. One is mainly used in electrical products, and the other is mainly used in wear-resistant parts of mechanical equipment, which should be selected according to different needs.
