Product Description
Phenol-formaldehyde resin, commonly known as phenolic resin, is a synthetic polymer produced through the condensation of phenol with formaldehyde. This resin is characterized by its excellent thermal stability, mechanical strength, and resistance to various chemicals and water, making it a valuable material in numerous industrial applications. It is widely utilized in the production of molded products, coatings, adhesives, and laminates. Phenolic resins are particularly noted for their application in the manufacturing of circuit boards, brake linings, and insulation materials due to their high heat resistance and insulating properties.
Additionally, the resin can be further classified into two types such as novolacs and resoles, depending on the phenol-to-formaldehyde ratio and the reaction conditions. Novolacs require a curing agent to form a hardened product, while resoles can cure without additional agents. The versatility and durability of phenol-formaldehyde resin have cemented its role in the development of high-performance materials across various sectors, including the automotive, electronics, and construction industries.
