Bakelite (or formally: polyoxybenzylmethyleneglycolanhydride) is an alternative plastic to polymer (Teflon), as it is made with aromatic hydrocarbons instead of coal powder and fluorite.
Production
In a chemical plant:
500mB
500mB
It can also be crafted with laboratory glassware, by mixing 2 tanks, one with aromatic hydrocarbons and second with petroleum gas. The resulting powder can then be smelted into bars of bakelite.
Uses
Bakelite is a valid substitute for polymer in virtually every recipe it appears in; since it requires only fluid inputs from oil processing, it is far easier to mass produce than polymer (which requires coal and fluorite production in addition to oil).
One of these recipes include insulators, an ingredient required in multiple machines and also most circuit components:
