PHENOL FORMALDEHYDE RESIN

          Phenolic resin is the term that describe a wide variety  of product,  results  from  the reaction of  phenol  and  aldehydes. Although phenol itself, C6H5OH is the dominant phenol, resorcinol and  alkyl  substituted phenols and p-phenyl phonel are  used  in substituted  phenols and p-phenyl phenol are used in  substantial volume. The aldehyde used is almost exclusively formaldehyde  but small  amounts of furfuraldehyde and acetaldehyde are also  used.

Formaldehyde  is  sometimes used in the form of  its  dey  powder polymer, paraform. The phenol formaldehyde, reaction product, may be  liquid,  a  solid or a powder, and it may be  pure  resin  or modified  with filers or polymeric compounds. Most the resin  may be  delivered to the user ready to be cured or it may be  in  the temporary thermoplastic `Novolak’ from to which a hardner  hexmet hylenetetr-amine  (hexa)  will be added.  Some  phenolic  resins, those  based on substituted phenols, are permanently fusible  and soluble in organic solvents.
