BRIEF OVERVIEW
Phenol formaldehyde resin or phenolic resin is a synthetic polymer obtained from the reaction of phenol or phenol substituted with formaldehyde. Used as the basis for Bakelite, PF is the first commercial synthetic resin.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Phenolic laminates are made by impregnating one or more layers of a base material such as paper, fiberglass, or cotton with phenolic resin and laminating the resin-saturated base material under heat and pressure. The resin fully polymerizes (cures) during this process forming the thermoset polymer matrix.
APPLICATION
Phenolic resins are found in a myriad of industrial products. Phenolic laminates are made by impregnating one or more layers of the base material such as paper, fiberglass or carbon with phenolic resin and laminating the resin saturated base material under heat and pressure. The resin fully polymerizes (cures) during this process. The base material choice depends on the intended application of the finished product.
