Bakelite is used in making electrical appliances because it has very good electrical insulating properties.
Bakelite, or polyoxybenzylmethylenglycolanhydride, is an early plastic that was quite sturdy and could withstand high temperatures. It is a thermosetting phenol formaldehyde resin, formed from an elimination reaction of phenol with formaldehyde, usually with a wood flour filler. It was developed in 1907-1909 by Belgian chemist Dr. Leo Baekeland. The black plastic handles and knobs on your Grandmother's old pots and pans are made from bakelite. The outer plastic shell of any rotary phone you may have seen was made from bakelite. Bowling balls, the old black ones, were also once made from bakelite too.
It is used mainly in the production of cheap products. Items can include Billiard Balls, Dominoes and board game pieces, some Dice are also made of it, Wheel casters for arm chairs and sofas etc.
Bakelite is a plastic that is used from 1906 up today in some applications. It was replaced sometimes by ABS, PVC, etc.
Bakelite was the first plastic in the world. They made televisions and telephone housings and other stuff out of bakelite, because it was very cheap. Now we have other plastics.
