Profile: B. B. Chatterjee Company Private Limited exports and supplies a range of thermo plastic, thermo setting plastic & engineering plastic products. Our product line includes asbestos products, laminated bakelite, glass fiber, poly propylene, high density polyethelene, poly vinyl chloride and polyaimide nylon. Bakelite is a generic named material based on the thermosetting phenol formaldehyde resin. It was the first plastic made from synthetic polymers. It was used for its non conductive and heat-resistant properties in radio and telephone casings and electrical insulators. Bakelite phenolic sheet is a hard, dense material made by applying heat and pressure to layers of paper or glass cloth impregnated with synthetic resin. These layers of laminations are usually of cellulose paper, cotton fabrics, synthetic yarn fabrics, glass fabrics or unwoven fabrics. When heat and pressure are applied to the layers, a chemical reaction (polymerization) transforms the layers into a high-pressure thermosetting industrial laminated plastic.
