Thermosets
Phenolic Resol Thermoset — Phenolic Resol Resin
Phenolic resols are produced with excess formaldehyde and are typically used in liquid or solid forms. They exhibit good adhesive properties and can be formulated for improved flexibility compared to novolacs, finding use as binders and in laminates.
