Deerfield Beach, FL, March 21, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zion Research has published a new report titled “Phenolic Resins (Resols, Novolac and Others) Market for Wood-adhesives, Molding Compounds, Laminates, Insulation and Other Applications: Global Industry Perspective, Comprehensive Analysis, and Forecast, 2014 – 2020” According to the report, the global phenolic resins market was valued at approximate USD 10.0 billion in 2014 and is expected to reach approximately USD 14.0 billion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of around 5.5% between 2015 and 2020. In terms of volume, global phenolic resins market stood at approximately 4.7 million tons in 2014.
Phenolic resins are synthetic polymers produced through reaction between phenol and formaldehyde. Owing to their superior physical and chemical properties, phenolic resins are widely used in host of industries in various applications such as wood-adhesives, insulation, rubber, and laminates. Properties of phenolic resins can be modified to suit any specific applications by altering the catalysts used during manufacturing. Phenolic resins exhibit excellent chemical and physical properties such as heat resistance, eclectic resistance, high tensile strength, mold ability, light weight, lower smoke and toxicity level. Key application market for phenolic resins includes wood adhesive, laminates, electronics, aviation, mass transit, foundry materials and power generation industries among others. Phenol and formaldehyde are the key raw materials used in the manufacturing of phenolic resins.
