Bakelite Plate (Orange / Black) Phenolic Laminate
Paper-phenolic plate for panels, tags and mechanical parts. Bakelite (paper-phenolic) plate is the classic insulating panel material, supplied orange or black. It machines and engraves well for tags and panels. We cut and machine it to the panel or part drawing. Both are paper-phenolic; color is usually for identification or panel look. We stock both.

Why phenolic laminate (bakelite) for this application
Phenolic plate is the low-cost rigid insulator used where the duty is LV/panel-level and the part mainly isolates and carries terminal hardware. The orange grade signals electrical duty; the black grade suits mechanical plus insulation.
Paper-core phenolic tracks if crossed under moisture. Keep CTI in mind: confirm the grade (XX or XXX) and the thickness tolerance before cutting or punching patterns.
Standards: ASTM D709 (phenolic), IEC 60893-3-4, UL 94 HB/V-0.
