Phenol resin is a type of thermoset plastic that has been in use for a long time, following celluloid.
Generally speaking, phenol resin has great mechanical strength, electrical properties and excellent resistance against flame, solvents, water and acids. Of special note is its mechanical strength retention at times of high temperature. In addition to flame resistance, phenol resin features low smoke generation, and low smoke toxicity.
Phenol resin has a well-balanced composition and is relatively cheap, so it is widely used as a thermoset molding material.
The most common applications are industrial parts requiring electrical insulation, mechanical strength, and heat resistance. Phenol resin is also used for mechanical parts requiring chemical resistance and solvent resistance.

The number of thermoset molding manufacturers is decreasing because of low profit margins for the labor and costs. In particular, there are few manufacturers that have compression molding machines and transfer molding machines.
If your contract manufacturer discontinues business or shuts down a production line, please contact us.
