A high-impact, temperature-resistant plastic used in some sockets and fixtures
The thermo-set plastic used as the insulating body of the thermostat; it has a UL rated temperature of 177 C ± and a comparative strength value of 30,000 lb at ambient. This material will not melt, however, it will deteriorate at high temperatures.
A plastic polymer offering unique favorable properties for being used as gaskets in certain automotive applications. In the Mercedes-Benz Pontons, there is a thick phenolic gasket between the engine block and the oil filter housing.
The generic name for phenol-formaldehyde thermosetting plastic that is moulded or cast.
A plastic resin used on some treadmill decks that permeates the wood, making waxing unnecessary.
a plastic laminate solidified sandwich (sheet) This sandwich is made up of thin sheets of resin-impregnated material
Heat- and chemical-resistant plastic engraving substrate. Hard, tough material; usually needs carbide tools for cutting/engraving. Also known as melamine.
Reinforced resin often used for making body tubes and fins for High Power Rockets
(As in Hi-Bake phenolic lining) This is a synthetic phenolic resin baked on as a lining. It provides a non-reactive barrier between the metal plates and atmosphere or one or more of various types of paints or chemical products.
Any compound based on a ring of six carbon atoms joined by alternating single and double bonds. The tannins contained in grain husks are phenolic in nature, as are the soft hop resins (alpha and beta acids).
(fee-NAHL-ik) A substance formed by the reaction of phenol and formaldehyde. Phenols can be heavily reinforced or "filled" with glass fibers or other durable materials to make them extremely impact-, shatter- and heat-resistant. Phenols are an excellent choice for cookware and cutlery handles because they are extremely durable.
A thermosetting resin that is the product of phenol and formaldehyde, usually containing a wood flour filler. Properties include good high temperature and electrical resistance characteristics, good hardness, durability and dimensional stability. Normally seen in dark colors like black, brown and dark green, as natural color is an opaque brown.
A type of thermoset plastic.
Any of various synthetic thermosetting resins, obtained by the reaction of phenols with simple aldehydes and used to make molded products and as coatings and adhesives. Also called phenolic resin.
A plastic molding component formed by the reaction of phenol and formaldehyde. It can be heavily reinforced or "filled" with glass fibers or other materials. Phenolics are known for their high impact strength, excellent wear characteristics, and dimensional stability over a wide temperature range.
A synthetic resin used for heat or water resistance.
A rigid, brittle laminated plastic.
Resin formed from phenol and formaldehyde, which can be used in the making of waterproofing varnish or thermosetting adhesive, the manufacture of wood products or in protective paint.
