Surface Finishing for CNC Machined Bakelite
Although Bakelite (phenolic resin) is a thermoset material that does not require extensive finishing like metals or thermoplastics, certain post-machining surface treatments can improve part quality, functionality, or appearance.
Powder Coating
Applicable to plastic, offering matte, gloss, or textured finishes with customizable colors. Thickness removed ranges from 0.05mm to 0.15mm.
As Machined
This finish retains visible tool marks and is suitable for both metals and plastics. There is no specific thickness removed in this finish.
Brushing
Brushing produces a satin texture on parts, offering a smooth, uniform finish while concealing minor flaws.
Painting
Available for metals and plastics, this finish can be matte, gloss, or textured, with color matching possible.
What is Bakelite?
Bakelite, also known as phenolic resin, is one of the earliest synthetic plastics, invented in the early 20th century. It is a thermosetting plastic formed by the reaction of phenol with formaldehyde, creating a hard, rigid, and heat-resistant material.
Bakelite Applications
Electrical insulators and switchgear components
Radio and telephone casings
Mechanical parts such as gears, handles, and bushings
Decorative items and jewelry
