Modified phenolic foam catalyst and process for the preparation of closed cell phenolic foams by the use of this catalyst

摘要

The invention relates to the preparation of closed cell phenolic resin foams produced from compositions of phenolaldehyde resole resins, and the foam products thus prepared. More particularly the present invention relates to the preparation of phenolic resin foams by a method employing a novel modified phenolic foam catalyst. The invention also relates to these modified phenolic foam catalysts which includes an aromatic sulphonic acid and resorcinol.
