Phenolic resins for phenolic molding compounds are synthesized from phenols and aldehydes as main raw materials. According to the state of the product, it is divided into two types: solid and liquid, which are represented by S and L respectively. Divided into six categories according to product properties: pure resin (code 1), cardanol modified resin (code 2), melamine modified resin (code 3), polyvinyl butyral (PVB) modified resin (code 4) , Aniline modified resin (code 5), other modified resins (code 6).
Today I will introduce what conditions should be met in the performance testing of phenolic resins for phenolic molding compounds under the provisions of GB/T30772-2014. The product needs to be named before testing to prevent confusion. See below.

Item detection
Performance requirements of solid phenolic resin for phenolic molding
