In 1920’s, it was widely used in knobs, dials, circuitry panels, and even
cabinets for radios, and it was also employed in the electric systems of
automobiles. In 1927, Bakelite patent expired.
Coating Products
A polyamide is a macromolecule with repeating units linked by amide
bonds.
High melting points. Ultra high tensile strength at low weight, and
excellent flame and heat resistance.
Livelihood Products
Polyurethane (PUR and PU) is a polymer composed of organic units
joined by carbamate (urethane) links. While most polyurethanes are
thermosetting polymers that do not melt when heated, thermoplastic
polyurethanes are also available.
Long bond length combined with a wide bond angle and a low barrier to
rotation give polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) outstanding flexibility, internal
mobility, and large free volume. Resists temperature extremes, weathering,
aging, oxidation, moisture, many chemicals, and ultraviolet radiation and is
generally non-irritating.

Epoxy resins are low molecular weight pre-polymers or high
molecular weight polymers which normally contain at least two epoxide
groups.
It also resists heat. That resistance makes it ideal for electronics and
electrical systems and other industrial applications. Those who use epoxy
are aware of the superb mechanical strength and low curing contraction.
They also know the epoxy resins are well-balanced industrial materials and
suited to a broad range of applications. Its thermal and electrical properties,
strength, and durability are what epoxy is noted for. Those properties along
with the resistance to immersion and hostile chemical vapor are the reason
epoxy often is chosen by engineers.
C-stage refers to sheet, rod, tube, angle or other in their "cured stage".
Sheets - B-stage is sheeted into plies then laid on top of each other
into predetermined stacks that will render a given thickness. These
stacks are placed into the hydraulic laminating press between two flat
surfaces and pressure is applied. While under pressure, heat is
introduced to begin the bake cycle. The resin in the B-stage product
is re-activated by the heat to a sticky state which moves slowly, filling
and bonding the layers together until it eventually hardens and
cures. Once plies bond to each other and cure, they are referred to
as C-stage laminate sheet and the process described is called
laminating or pressing.
