Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A job that compression-molds Bakelite (phenolic resin) and finishes it to the specified shape and dimensions through cutting and polishing.
Description
Bakelite processors heat and pressurize phenolic resin (Bakelite) in a press machine to mold it within a mold, then remove the molded product and perform secondary processing such as cutting, drilling, polishing, and surface finishing. They mainly manufacture products requiring heat resistance and insulation, such as electrical insulation parts, decorative parts, and mechanical components. The work includes dimensional inspection and quality checks, requiring precise operations and safety management. In the factory, attention is paid to high temperatures and dust, and protective gear is worn during work.
Future Outlook
Demand is declining due to the rise of general-purpose plastics and new materials, but demand for special-purpose parts requiring heat resistance and insulation continues.
