===Phenolic sheet===
Another market for Bakelite resin was the creation of phenolic sheet materials. A phenolic sheet is a hard, dense material made by applying heat and pressure to layers of paper or glass cloth impregnated with synthetic resin.<ref name="Meikle"/>{{rp|53}} Paper, cotton fabrics, synthetic fabrics, glass fabrics, and unwoven fabrics are all possible materials used in lamination. When heat and pressure are applied, [[polymerization]] transforms the layers into [[Thermosetting plastic|thermosetting]] industrial laminated plastic.<ref name=Nimrod>{{cite web|title=Bakelite|url=http://www.nimrodplastics.com.au/product-bakelite.htm|website=Nimrod Plastics|access-date=February 26, 2015|archive-date=April 19, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200419111644/http://www.nimrodplastics.com.au/product-bakelite.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref>
