7. BAKELITE
PREPARATION:

 PROPERTIES:
 Bakelite is the commercial name for phenol-formaldehyde resin
which comes in a wide range of vibrant colour and can be molded
quickly.
 When heated, it is pliable and liquefiable, but onced cooled, it
becomes permanently rigid and is reffered to as thermosetting
plastic.
 It is very resistant to electrical, thermal and chemical activity. As a
result, electronic devices, switches, and car parts are manufactured
using bakelite.
 Bakelite is also classified as thermosetting plastic once it is
moulded it becomes permanently rigid and cannot be remoulded
again by heating.
USES:
 Bakelite is use in the manufacture of a variety of products,
including utensil handles, bangles, and vehicle parts.
 It may be dyed into a variety of colour, allowing it to be
employed in the creaation of vivid and appealing products.
 It is a good insulator that is used in the manufacture of non-
conducting parts of radio and electric devices such as sockets,
wire insulation, switches and automobile distribution caps etc.
 It is used in the manufacture of clocks, buttons, washing
machines, toys, kitchenware, and other items.
8.UF- (UREA-FORMALDEHYDE)
PREPARATION:

PROPERTIES:
 High tensile strength
 Flexural modulus
 Heat-distortion temperatures
 Low water absorption, mold shrinkage, high surface hardness, volume
resistance, and elongation at break.
USES:
 With how persuasive urea-formaldehyde resin is, there are many
industries that make use of urea-formaldehyde resin manufacturers.
Some of the more general uses include laminates, textiles, paper,
wrinkle resistant fabrics, cotton blends and fam artificial snow. It
can also be found as a coating for electrical appliances such as desk
lamps.
9. BUNA-N
PREPARATION:
PROPERTIES:
 Buna-N is resistant to oil, fuel and other chemicals means more
Buna-N higher the resistance to oil but flexibility of the material
is less.
 It is resistant to Alphatic hydrocarbons.
 Has poor resistance to ozone sunlight and weathering as the
double bond present in the polybutadiene segment of the
chemical backbone.
USES:
 Buna-N is used in the automotive and aeronotical industry to
make fuel and oil handling hoses, seals and grommets. It is used
to make protective gloves in the nuclear industry. It is ideal
material for aerontical application as Buna-N can withstand a
range of temperature from 40 to 108 degree C.
10.BUNA-S
PREPARATION:

PROPERTIES:
 It is very tough and a good substitute for natural rubber.
 It possesses high abrasion resistance.
 It has high load bearing capacity.
USES:
It is used for manufacturing automobile tyres.
It is used for making floor tiles, footwear components, cable
insulation etc.
VULCANIZATION OF RUBBER
Vulcanization scaled down rubber to a smaller size, without
altering or deforming its shape. In addition , it's shape is
retained, which protects the rubber from future deformation.
The process starts with the formation of a persulfonium ion by
reaction of an isoprene unit with a polarized sulfur molecule or
a sulfur cation. The persolfonium ion reacts than with another
isoprene unit by allylic hydrogen abstraction to produce a
polymeric allylic carbocation. In a third step a sulfur molecule
(cyclic S8) combines with the allylic cation to produce another
sulfonium ion (IV) which releases (monomeric) sulfur. The
polymeric sulfonium ion then undergoes crosslinking by an
ionic addition to a polymeric double bond to create a new
carbocation which then either reacts with another isoprene unit
to create a new polymeric cation.
