Novolac resins are amorphous (not crystalline) thermoplastics. As they are most typically used, they are solid at room temperature and will soften and flow between 150° and 220°F (65°C – 105°C). The number average molecular weight (Mn) of a standard phenol novolac resin is between 250 and 900.
These are resins produced by the complete poly-condensation of phenol and aldehydes for industrial uses as a replacement of natural resin such as shellac. They are available in solid and liquid form and is used in binders, articles, paints, molded pieces, laminated plastics and adhesives.
