Phenolic resins, also known as phenol-formaldehyde resins, are a versatile group of synthetic polymers derived from the reaction between phenol (a hydroxyaromatic compound) and formaldehyde (a simple organic compound). These resins are notable for their exceptional thermal stability, mechanical strength, and resistance to chemicals.
Features and Benefits of Phenolic:
- Thermal stability
- Mechanical strength
- Chemical resistance
- Dimensional stability
- Fire resistance
- Electrical insulation
- Low smoke emission
- Impact resistant
- Corrosion resistant
