Phenolic Resin Market Trends, Opportunities, Business Analysis and Top Companies (BASF SE, Momentive Specialty Chemicals, Hitachi Chemical Co., Ltd, SI Group, Mitsui Chemicals Inc, DIC Corporation, Sumitomo Bakelite Co, Ltd)

Phenolic resin is a common name for phenol-formaldehyde resin and is a thermosetting plastic used in wide array of end-use applications. Molding compounds, forest products, and abrasives are among some of the most significant applications for the phenolic resins.

Phenolic resin was the first synthetic polymer to be commercialized and is still a very significant industrial polymer. The demand for phenolic resin is also driven by the growth in the downstream sector of phenol, which is a raw material for phenolic resins. Improved operating rates of existing phenol plants were witnessed across the world in 2017, with significantly delayed capacity additions that were expected in 2017.
