Phenolic Resin Powder

From Harbour Refractory — reference entry

Phenolic resin powder is an organic binder providing thermosetting behavior and carbon yield after coking, used in refractories and foundry mixes.

Description

It is added to improve green strength and hot strength depending on formulation. Cure behavior and carbon residue depend on the resin type and processing parameters.
