PF3041 Open Phenolic Resin

Phenol-formaldehyde resin (PF) is a polymer made by polycondensation of
phenolic compounds and aldehyde compounds. It is one of the three major
synthetic thermosetting resins.
Performance characteristics
Good high temperature performance: The cured phenolic resin has excellent heat
resistance due to its aromatic ring structure and high crosslinking density.
Generally, at 200°C, the heat resistance of phenolic resin is good. After
long-term use at 180°C, it can still maintain its structural integrity and
dimensional stability.
High residual carbon rate: When it exceeds 300°C, phenolic resin will
decompose and gradually carbonize to form residues, and its residual amount is
as high as 60%. At a temperature of 800-2500°C, phenolic resin will generate a
layer of carbonized material on the surface of the material.
