Description

Benzoic Acid, 2-Hydroxy-, Polymer With Formaldehyde And 2-Methylphenol is a synthetic phenolic resin, a high-performance polymer derived from salicylic acid, formaldehyde, and o-cresol. This engineered material is valued for its excellent thermal stability, chemical resistance, and adhesive properties, making it a critical component in demanding industrial formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, and composite materials industries seeking durable and reliable polymeric binders.

Application

As a thermosetting resin in high-temperature resistant industrial coatings and enamels.
As a binding agent in friction materials, such as brake pads and clutch facings.
As a modifier and cross-linking agent in specialty rubber and adhesive formulations.
In the production of foundry sand binders for metal casting applications.
As an impregnating resin for electrical laminates and composite materials.
In the formulation of abrasive wheels and grinding tools.

Quality Control

Our phenolic resins are manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Key parameters such as softening point, melt viscosity, and free phenol content are rigorously tested. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications are available for every shipment to support your quality assurance processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Under these conditions, the product has a typical shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture.
