Phenolic Resins Market Overview
Phenolic resins are synthetic polymers which are formed by step-growth polymerization. They are known for their outstanding heat resistance and belong to the category of thermo set resins. Phenolic resins find their application in a myriad of industrial products. Phenolic resins are used in molding, insulation, laminated veneer lumber, laminates, sand binders, coatings, foams, abrasives and others.
They are widely used as wood adhesives owing to high bonding strength, heat resistance, excellent water resistance and chemical stability. Being relatively inexpensive and highly versatile, they are used intensively in automotive, electrical, construction and appliance industries. Some features typical of phenolic resins are high strength level, high mechanical stability, excellent fire, and smoke, and low toxicity, superior electrical and thermal insulating capabilities which are driving the market.
