Syndyne uses the phenolic resin (one of the oldest type of polymeric resinous binders) and adopts a superb technology to produce the phenolic resin laminates, also known as “phenolic laminate” – the world's oldest industrial laminates.

From resin reaction, impregnation of paper or fabric, weighing and building up, hot pressing, fabrication, packing and inspection, to warehouse stock,phenolic laminates are produced with unique heat resistant, flame resistant, acid resistant and electrical insulating properties.

There is a wide use of paper-based phenolic laminate, including the florescent light caps, plugs, switches, radio parts, car parts that we use daily, to electrical distribution boards, supersonic machinery that is used in the industry. Phenolic laminate, in general, has excellent electrical insulation property and mechanical property.

Fabric-based phenolic laminate combines a modified phenolic resin and a heavy- or fine-woven cotton fabric as reinforcement. It is highly heat resistant and does not creep under high temperature. Fabric-based phenolic laminate has superb mechanical property, with their toughness and high impact strength it allows the fabrication of gears/cogs and pulleys. This type of gears and pulleys are hard-wearing, has relatively low noise and prolong the life span of the machinery.

Another type of phenolic resin laminate is called the phenolic resin back-up board, where it is used as the protective entry and/or back-up board while drilling or routhing of flexible and/or rigid printed circuit boards (PCB).

Our phenolic laminates have a thickness range from 0.2mm to 100mm, and a wide range of dimensions suitable for all applications. Syndyne's thin-type (<2.5mm) phenolic laminate can be used in hot-, warm-, or cold-punching; while thick-type (>2.5mm) phenolic laminate can be easily processed by various methods, such as sawing, planing, milling, lathing, grinding, and drilling etc.

All these phenolic resin laminates/rods/tubes, PCB back-up boards and other industrial plastic materials have received the UL certification, passed the SGS testing and in 2006, attained ISO 9001 quality standard certification.
