Bakelite handle Manufacturer in China
Phenolic Handle
A phenolic handle is made from a thermoset resin chosen for cookware because it stays stable near heat and resists common kitchen chemicals. Birss Houseware uses food-grade phenolic for every handle it molds.
Why phenolic
- Thermoset structure holds shape at cooktop temperatures.
- Low heat transfer keeps the grip cool to the touch.
- Resists oils, detergents, and common food acids.
- Dimensionally stable, so parts repeat run to run.
- Food-grade grades meet contact requirements.

Frequently asked questions
Q: Is phenolic safe for food contact?
A: Food-grade phenolic is used for cookware handles and meets food-contact requirements; we supply the relevant documentation.
Q: How is phenolic different from ordinary plastic?
A: It is a thermoset, so it does not soften at the temperatures that would deform common thermoplastics near a stove.
