PHENOLIC RESIN PRODUCT AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A PHENOLIC RESIN PRODUCT

摘要

A composition comprising a phenolic resin and crude glycerol is provided. The composition is suitable for use in producing a phenolic resin product. A method of producing a phenolic resin product including the step of adding crude glycerol to a phenolic resin to thereby produce the phenolic resin product is also provided. Also provided is a phenolic resin product produced by the method and a phenolic resin product comprising a phenolic resin modified by adding crude glycerol. Articles produced from the products have improved physical properties and are particularly useful in manufacturing civil engineering and building materials. The crude glycerol in the composition may be no more than 80% pure.
