Phenolic resins or phenol-formaldehyde resins are the synthetic polymers obtained by the polymerization of phenol and formaldehyde. Phenolic resins possess good physical and chemical properties such as high mechanical strength, low toxicity, good heat resistance, low smoke formation and high thermal stability. Due to such high properties, phenolic resins find their applications in myriad industrial products. From molded products such as billiard balls to coatings and adhesives, phenolic resins are used for different applications across various industries such as automotive, electrical & electronics, construction etc. Besides, by mixing phenolic resins with other polymer, they can also be used in applications like corrosion coating, adhesive, etc.
Phenolic resins are employed in a variety of applications such as wood-adhesives, laminates, molding compounds, rubber, and insulation among others. Owing to the favorable physical and chemical properties, phenolic resins have found application in niche segments such as mass-transit, and off-shore oil drilling, which requires materials with high heat resistance.
Applications:
Phenolic resins are used in coatings, composites, adhesives, and in molded parts. The phenolic materials are available in a variety of configurations, for example, with fiberglass and carbon fiber reinforcement or with various fillers and additive combinations, tailored to the requirements of specific industries and applications.
Besides being used in coatings for interiors of food and beverage cans, phenolic resins are an excellent choice for manufacturing protective coatings and for enhancing the performance of epoxy, acrylic, polyester and alkyd based adhesive or coating products. They are, for example, used for tank, drum, and pipe linings; marine and industrial applications; and electrical devices such as wires, motor and wound coils.
