Question
How is bakelite prepared?
✓
Answer
In the third stage, various articles are shaped from novolac by putting it in appropriate moulds and heating at high temperature $\left(138^{\circ} C\right.$ to $\left.176^{\circ} C \right)$ and at high pressure forms rigid polymeric material called bakelite. Bakelite is insoluble and infusible and has high tensile strength.
Bakelite is used in making articles like telephone instrument, kitchenware, electric insulators frying pans, etc.
