GREAT BRITAIN[14]

As in most other countries, the history of the synthetic-resin industry
in Great Britain begins with the acquisition of rights by a British
concern to manufacture under the original Bakelite patents. The Damard
Lacquer Co., Ltd. was probably the pioneer maker of phenolic resins in
England. The principal product was a baking lacquer sold under the trade
name Damarda, marketed for and used principally as a coating to prevent
corrosion on brass. The outbreak of the World War created such an urgent
demand for laminated materials that this firm started production of
them for the British Government. In 1926 this concern was merged with
Mouldesite, Ltd. and Redmanol, Ltd., under the name of Bakelite, Ltd.


Production.

Statistics of production of synthetic resins in Great Britain are
available only for 1934 and 1935. They are given in table 25.
