Adhesives
Wood bonding applications such as particleboard or wafer-board have traditionally used phenolic resin binders. Due to their specific "affinity" for wood and wood fibers, special liquid phenolic resins may be required for the specialty wood adhesives industry typically in combination with a polyvinylacetate (PVAc) backbone polymer. Plenco liquid phenolic resol resins with low free phenol and low free formaldehyde contents are available especially for use in adhesive applications. Plastics Engineering Company can also supply low ash content, soluble solid resol resins, and of course a wide range of novolac resin-hexa systems.
