Electrical commutators require phenolic resin materials with a precise combination of mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties to ensure safe and durable operation, even under demanding conditions.
At FenoquĂmica we develop specially formulated thermoset molding powders based on phenolic resin or phenol formaldehyde resin to meet the highest standards of the switching industry. Our phenolic materials are present in domestic, industrial, automotive switches, and in various specialized applications.
FenoquĂmica offers high-performance materials that ensure reliable thermal and electrical insulation, flame resistance, dimensional stability and thermal resistance, even in environments with high temperatures or continuous exposure to electric arc. These properties make our molding powders a safe and efficient flame retardant plastic, with UL 94 certified materials that meet the most demanding requirements of the market.
Modern switchgear, especially in more compact and powerful electric motors, are subject to higher thermal and mechanical demands.
In addition to withstanding high temperatures and high rotational speeds, they must maintain their performance over a long-life service.
FenoquĂmica’s phenolic molding powders are designed to meet these challenges, offering abrasion resistance, structural rigidity, and stable heat behavior.
FenoquĂmica’s product line includes phenolic compounds formulated to provide an optimal balance between thermal resistance, dimensional stability, and electrical insulation, even under extreme conditions. These materials make it possible to manufacture durable, precise and safe switchgear, suitable for domestic, industrial and automotive applications.
Thanks to their properties, our compounds allow not only electrical insulation, but also the secure fixation of copper foils and their exact positioning on the rotor axis, even at high speeds and under strong thermal stress.
