Product Overview

ASK offer a range of industrial resins based on phenol resols, phenolics and resorcinol formaldehyde resins. Carriers are either aqueous or alcohol based. Typical applications include impregnation of textiles for friction applications, requiring high flexibility, temperature resistance and friction values. Also used in can and coil coatings where good adhesion, hardness, flexibility and chemical resistance are required. Other applications include formulation of RFL's for rubber to textile adhesion promotion.
