| Phenoloics |
These thermosetting resins are credited with being the first commercialized wholly synthetic polymer or plastic. The basic raw material is usually formaldehyde and phenol. In the uncured and semicured condition, phenolic resins are used as adhesives, casting resins, potting compounds, and laminating resins. As molding powders, phenolic resins can be found in electrical uses. |
