Phenolic lamp sockets are made of phenolic resin.  This plastic material is known for its resistance to heat, strength, and non-conductive characteristics.  In the early days of lamp sockets, a material called Bakelite was used to manufacture these sockets.  In fact, Bakelite was the name of those phenolic lamp sockets.
