Development of continuous compounded grades of fibre-reinforced composites based on non-acid cure phenolic resols

posted on 2018-03-13, 09:51 authored by Mohammad Kazemi-FakhrCommercial grades of dough moulding compounds (DMC) are typically
based on glass fibre reinforcement, unsaturated polyester resins (UPR) and
particulate inorganic fillers. Such systems are inherently inflammable and
will emit dense smoke on combustion, therefore the more expensive fire
retarded grades of UPR must be used for fire critical applications.
The recently-introduced, second generation phenolic resols are intended
for composite applications. These resins have in particular, excellent fire and smoke properties which gives them the potential to replace UPRs in
DMC formulations: these phenolics are of comparative price. [Continues.]
