Phenolic Insulation

Phenolic Insulation is created by using a plastic foam as an insulating core between two layers of flexible tissue. It has a high concentration of closed cells and has a fine cell structure.

Mixing high solids with phenolic resin and a surface agent to produce rigid phenolic insulation results in rigid phenolic insulation. The reaction heat creates small bubbles in material by vaporising a volatile liquid blowing agents in the mixture. You can cure the foam to make one of two types of product. You can make it by continuous processes to produce thin sheets of material that are laminated with different facings and then cut into boards.
