Is phenolic resin hazardous?

Pure phenol and its vapors are indeed hazardous by inhalation or contact as they can severely irritate skin and eyes since it contains formaldehyde; therefore raw phenolic resin should also be treated with appropriate protection in production. However, phenolic resins in finished products are safe and can be used without any troubles. Do you need more information on phenolic resin‘s health hazards? Get in contact with our experts!

What is the difference between epoxy resin and phenolic resin?

Epoxy resin and phenolic resin are extremely similar. However, phenol formaldehyde resins are easier to work with and offer increased customization. The most noteworthy difference between epoxy and phenolic resin lies within their heat handling capacity as phenolic coatings can withstand much higher constant heat exposure.

What are the properties of phenol formaldehyde resin?

Phenol formaldehyde resins feature great electrical and mechanical insulation, they are durable and have a good flame and heat resistance, plus, they do not produce a lot of smoke when burned. Therefore, phenolic resins are efficiently used as coatings and adhesives in batteries and copper clad laminates (CCL’s) in consumer electronics.
