Phenolic resin "bakelite" is the oldest among plastics and with about a century of history from its creation, it is still enjoying wide uses by virtue of its superior heat resistance, durability and other excellent features.
We provide a wide range of products from general purpose grades to specialty resins of super fine purity regulated to ppb low level.
We have a global network of services provided from bases in Japan, North America, Europe, and South East Asia.

Our phenolic molding compound SUMIKON^® PM is widely used in automotive areas, as shown representative applications on the right. It is an engineering plastic which has well balanced properties of heat resistance, dimensional stability, electrical and mechanical properties.

Our unsaturated polyester molding compound SUMIKON^® TM is widely used in automotive areas, as shown representative applications on the right. What is remarkable for this product is its distinguished arc resistance (180 sec), and tracking resistance (600 V) properties.

We provide molded articles to substitute metallic parts with the use of extremely tough reinforced phenolic molding compound, as well as the optimization of the molecular design of resins with the aid of FEM structural analysis, coupled with excellent mold-making/molding technologies.

We are prepared to comply with customers' diverse needs with an integrated system for customer satisfaction from a selection of materials, manufacture of molds & tools to assay and evaluation of molding/molded products. Consult us for solutions not only to enhance your existing products but also to develop and commercialize your products in new areas.

Sumitomo Bakelite collected its production of paper phenolic resin copper-clad laminates into SNC Industrial Laminates in Malaysia. SNC develops new products through close cooperation with related divisions in Japan. Its products' line-up are Low odor, Environment friendly, For lead free solder and so on.
In order to meet various requirements such as much severe quality guarantee system and consideration for production environment from customers, SNC has quality and environment control system which corresponds to international standards such as ISO9001 and ISO14001.
SNC provides high quality products to customers around the world.
The new line-up, year 2002:
PLC-2147SQ highly tracking resistant grade
PLC-2147RH silver through-hole high density mounting type
PLC-2147GSSM halogen-free, lower odor type
PLC-2147GH halogen-free silver through hole mounting type
PLC-2147RF high heat resistant grade for lead-free reflow soldering
PLC-2147GF halogen-free heat resistant grade

Sumitomo Bakelite's company name originates from the brand name of the oldest plastic in history. Sumitomo Bakelite markets phenolic resin laminates and also epoxy resin laminates.
In addition to these traditional products Sumitomo Bakelite is also very actively working for the development of advanced new materials as well as value-added articles to cope with needs of a new era.
We are prepared to provide quality products at a reasonable price always bearing customers' needs in mind. Please don't hesitate to consult us on your selection of materials.

We have a wide assortment of SUMILITERESIN^®ECP which have superior adhesion properties and heat resistance required for use in automotive electric motors; insulation of motor slots and fixation of coils.

SUMIMAC^®ECR/ECH is widely used for automotive electronic parts such as ignition coils, motors, sensors taking advantages of its reliability in insulating sealing.

PPS, polyamide, PC and other engineering plastics are used as core matrix resins and formulating specific fillers and also provide rigidity, electric and thermal conductivity and other unique properties. These thermoplastics molding compounds are used in a wide range of applications because of their improvement or modification according to the purposes.
