Properties of Textolite Based on Phenol–Formaldehyde Resins

The wide range of binders and fillers used in textolite production makes it possible, by means of various combinations of these main components, to obtain a variety of materials with valuable technical characteristics. The study examines the technological features of textolite production on the basis of phenol-formaldehyde resins and the influence of the binder content in the fabric filler on the product properties. For filler impregnation, we employed a method based on application of phenol-formaldehyde resin predissolved in ethyl alcohol to the required concentration.
