Bakelite handle Manufacturer in China
An integral color Bakelite handle is molded from pigmented phenolic resin. The reddish-brown tone runs through the whole body instead of sitting in a sprayed coat. A scratch exposes the same reddish-brown material, because there is no separate layer to remove. Birss Houseware molds the grip in one step. It is supplied for copper, stainless steel, and hard-anodized aluminum cookware in 14–32 cm skillet sizes. Standard Bakelite reads black because the raw resin is black.
What is an integral color Bakelite handle?
It is a phenolic grip with the pigment mixed into the resin before molding. The reddish-brown tone therefore runs from core to surface. The high-gloss finish comes from an integral polish, not a coating. A sprayed handle can peel, blister, or scratch through to a black base. This part has no black base under a coat. The body is BPA-free and needs no repainting to keep its finish. Color matching for bulk orders is done in the resin.
How does it handle heat and load?
The part is rated 160–180°C continuous. The pigmented PF2A2 or PF2A4-151J resin runs to 160–180°C continuous. Special modified grades reach 200–220°C. No coating sits on the surface, so heat has no film to blister or lift. Load passes through the molded section into the fixing, and the body holds its shape under a loaded skillet. Phenolic conducts heat slowly, so the grip runs cooler than the pan.

Which mounting and finish options are available?
Polishing brings up the gloss. Because there is no spray step, the surface and the core are the same color. Pigment is mixed into the resin before molding when a bulk order needs another tone. Fixing follows the pan: screw-on for a welded stud, rivet-in for a through-wall handle.
- Integral polish as the standard finish.
- Reddish-brown pigment carried through the body.
- Other pigment tones mixed into the resin for bulk orders.
- Screw-on fixing for welded studs.
- Rivet-in fixing for through-wall handles.
- No spray coat, so no coating to peel at the edges.
How is it made and inspected?
The grip is molded in one step on 20+ moulding machines that run 70,000 pcs/day. With pigment in the resin, there is no coating line and no spray cure after molding. Inspectors check color uniformity, gloss, and fixing dimensions across the lot. Attachment checks follow EN 12983-1:2023 before packing.
