  • Method for making a closed-cell phenolic resin foam, foamable composition, and closed-cell phenolic resin foam
    Patent number: 6013689
    Abstract: Provided is a foamable, phenolic resin composition adapted to form a closed-cell phenolic resin foam under substantially atmospheric pressure. The foamable, phenolic resin composition is formulated from a resol resin, a blowing agent, and a bond strength enhancing agent and/or a phenolic resin nucleating agent. The present invention also relates to a method of forming a closed-cell, phenolic resin foam and a closed-cell phenolic resin foam.

  • Sprayable, foam-forming, phenolic resin compostion, method of spraying a foam-forming, phenolic resin composition, and a sprayed foam
    Patent number: 5693684
    Abstract: A sprayable, foam-forming, phenolic resin composition having the combination of properties of:(i) a viscosity suitable for spraying,(ii) a cure rate suitable for spraying to prevent running or sagging of sprayed foam,(iii) which when suitably cured provides a foam having a high temperature resistance, and(iv) the cured foam produces substantially non-toxic fumes when burned. The sprayable, foam-forming, phenolic resin composition is made from a phenol-aldehyde resin; optionally a phenol compound; a catalyst for catalyzing a curing reaction of said phenol-aldehyde resin; and a gas-generating compound which generates a gas during said curing reaction of said phenol-aldehyde resin. The invention also provides a method for making a phenolic-resin foam layer and a sprayed phenolic-resin foam layer.

  • Phenolic foam composition and use thereof for "in place" foaming
    Patent number: 5432207
    Abstract: A process for the manufacture of a foamed product in which a reactive phenolic resin is mixed with urea and an isocyanate, and this mixture is then mixed with an acid catalyst. The phenolic resin polymerizes, thereby liberating water and formaldehyde. The water reacts with the isocyanate to liberate carbon dioxide and the formaldehyde reacts with the urea. As the phenolic resin polymerizes, it traps the carbon dioxide in bubbles, thereby forming a foamed product.
