PURPOSE: To provide the titled molding material which can be plated with copper and is useful for wiring equipments, electrical equipments, etc., by adding a nitrile-butdiene rubber to a phenolic resin molding material.

CONSTITUTION: 1W7pts.wt. nitrile-butadiene rubber is added to 100pts.wt. phenolic resin molding material obtd. by blending a hardener, a filler, a parting agent, a colorant, etc. with a phenolic resin.

EFFECT: This material can be plated with copper without damaging heat resistance, mechanical strength and dimensional stability which the phenolic resin originally possesses.
