Phenolic resin

Phenolic resin is a type of synthetic polymer made from phenol and formaldehyde chemicals. It is known for its high heat resistance, durability, and insulating properties. Used in products like electrical components, molded plastics, and adhesives, it forms strong, heat-resistant materials when cured. Phenolic resin's ability to withstand high temperatures and its chemical stability make it valuable in industrial applications, especially in environments where heat and fire resistance are critical. Despite its robust qualities, it can be somewhat brittle and less flexible compared to other plastics.
