They are used as paint and varnish, coatings, composite wood materials, industrial luminates, paper impregnation, foundry resins, abrasive materials and in rubbers and adhesives. Since the first edition was published in 1985, further development took place which is totally included in this completely revised 2nd edition.

Phenolic resins are still a hot topic The 2nd edition contains all the new developments since 1985 No competition on the market Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
