Bakelite^® Phenolic Resoles

Hexion manufactures both modified and unmodified phenolic resole resins with varying properties, to meet customers‘ processing and performance needs. Resoles are cured in a single step by exposure to heat or acids, and develop the high degree of cross linkage responsible for their great stability. Benefits of Bakelite phenolic resoles include:

Excellent hardness
Good thermal stability
Relative chemical imperviousness

Hexion's phenolic resole resins are binding agents of choice in a variety of industrial applications such as:

Bakelite phenolic resins are used as binders in both bonded and coated abrasives

Rail Composites

When your rail composite parts need to meet the most stringent fire, smoke and toxicity standards, depend on Hexion resins and technical expertise.

Floral foams made with Bakelite phenolic resins are water-absorbent, easy to cut, retain their shape and can be customized for optimal manufacturing

Bakelite phenolic resins are used as binding agents in engine oil filters.

Friction Materials

Bakelite phenolic resins, because of their high heat properties, are used in friction applications for the automotive and rail industries.

Thermal Insulation

Bakelite phenolic resins for thermal insulation foam panels offer low thermal conductivity, minimal density and excellent fire safety properties
