Description

Formaldehyde, Polymer With 2-Methylphenol And Phenol is a synthetic phenolic resin, specifically a co-condensate of formaldehyde with phenol and o-cresol. This thermosetting polymer is valued for its excellent thermal stability, chemical resistance, and strong adhesive properties, making it a critical intermediate in high-performance industrial applications. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, and composite materials industries seeking durable and reliable binding agents.

Application

• As a binding resin in the production of friction materials, such as brake pads and clutch facings.
• As a cross-linking agent and fortifier in high-temperature resistant industrial coatings and paints.
• In the formulation of foundry resins for sand casting molds and cores in metalworking.
• As an adhesive component for abrasive products like grinding wheels and sandpaper.
• In the manufacture of reinforced composites and laminates requiring superior mechanical strength.
• For the production of molding compounds used in electrical components and automotive parts.

Quality Control

Our phenolic resin products are manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Quality is verified through a series of analytical tests including viscosity, gel time, and residual monomer content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all key parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from strong bases and organic solvents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and maintain product integrity.
