About Polytone® AP Series Reinforcing

POLYTONE® AP Reinforcing Resins are usually used in conjugation with methylene donor like Hexa. Most wide use in in the apex of tires or in rubber compounds which require hardness. POLYTONE® AP 130/131/133 are manufactured using modified phenols to provide required property.

POLYTONE® AP 131 is particularly suited for industrial tread Applications such as farm, off the road, mining and truck tires. Tread compounds with 5-10 PHR of AP 131 cross linked with a methylene donor shall have excellent cut and chip resistance along with excellent abrasion resistance and high hardness.

POLYTONE® Resins which are on unmodified phenols provides higher hardness compared to other products. They are designed to give a consistent performance as a reinforcing resin in synthetic and natural rubber-based goods that require high hardness, excellent chip and abrasion resistance when cross linked with a methylene donor. There are used as a reinforcing resin in tire beads, shoe soles, apex strips and co-extruded window profiles.

POLYTONE® PF 132 can be used as an epoxy-phenolic co reactant in wide range of epoxy co reactant applications like laminates, adhesives and coatings. POLYTONE® PF 132 can also be used in varnishes, insulations, inks and coatings.

POLYTONE® PF 425 and POLYTONE® PF 420 are Non Heat Reactive/Thermoplastic Phenol –Formaldehyde Novolak Resins POLYTONE® PF 420 is a high purity Non Heat Reactive/Thermoplastic Phenol – Formaldehyde Novolak Resin with low softening point.
