Phenolic Resins; Used In A Myriad of Industrial Products and Good for High-Temperature Applications
Phenolic
resins or phenol resins are synthetic polymers derived from the reaction
between phenol and formaldehyde. These resins were known as the first
commercial resins used in the production of molded products such as billiard
balls and laboratory countertops. Phenolic resins are also used as adhesives
and coasting. A wide variety of phenolic resins are available, such as
formaldehyde-free phenolic resin, bio-phenolic resin, resole resin, novolac
resin, and cresol resin. They are used in several industrial activities owing
to their properties such as high mechanical strength, moisture resistance, heat
resistance, adhesion, and more.
Global
Phenolic Resins Market was valued at US$ 14605.0 Million in 2021 in terms of revenue,
exhibiting a CAGR of 4.84 % during
the forecast period (2022 to 2030).
Phenol
resins are used to create various kinds of materials. They are environmentally
friendly and can be used to make particle board, plywood, and laminated wood.
These materials are classified as phenol-formaldehyde resins and found in a
number of consumer products. Phenol resins are also commonly used in automobile
and steel/iron applications. They have excellent heat resistance and
durability. They are often used to make clutches, brake pads, and automatic
transmission parts as well as laminates for automobile interiors. Moreover,
these resins are used in electrical devices, electronics, and marine
applications.
Phenolic
resins can be classified into resol and novolac. Resole resins are
methylol-bearing resins while novolac resins are non-methylol-bearing resins. Phenolic
resins are also used in a wide range of applications, including aerospace, mine
ventilation, ballistics, offshore water pipe systems, and rail and mass
transit. Phenolic resins are good for high-temperature applications. Moreover,
they are used a skin protective agent and offer excellent skin protection
properties. Furthermore, it is an odorless, colorless, and caustic chemical
that is derived from natural gas and used in most of the artificial
preservatives in food.
Thus,
there is an increase in demand for phenolic
resins worldwide. Krahn Chemie GMBH, Mitsui
Chemicals Europe GmbH, Paul Tiefenbacher GmbH, VELOX GmbH, Willers Engel & Co. GmbH & Co., CTS Composite
Technologie Systeme GmbH, and DSM Composite Resins Deutschland GmbH are some
major phenolic resin importers in Germany.
