2 Component Phenol Formaldehyde with Catalyst / Hexa

POLYTONE® PF 200/201 are Non Heat Reactive/Thermoplastic Phenol – Formaldehyde Novolak Resins. These are 2 step resin containing Hexa.

COATINGS: Cured phenolic resins demonstrate exceptional chemical resistance. Railroad cars, storage tanks and heat transfer equipment are coated using phenolic resins as part of baked phenolic coating systems.

COMPOSITES: Phenolic resins are the polymer matrix of choice in composite products especially when meeting high flame, smoke and toxicity (FST) properties. Phenolic resins provide for excellent strength at elevated temperatures in a variety of environments and are compatible with a multitude of composite fibers and fillers. Multiple applications benefit by using phenolic resins in the following composite part manufacturing processes:

REFRACTORY: High carbon yield, wear resistance, and excellent particle wetting and bonding properties make phenolic resins ideal for refractory products.
