The Rise of Phenolic Foam Board: Advantages and Applications

Introduction and advantages of phenolic board

Phenolic board is made of phenolic foam material, which is a high-molecular organic hard aluminum foil foam product, foamed by thermosetting phenolic resin. Phenolic board is a security product produced by high-tech materials, known as the "king of thermal insulation materials".

It is a new generation of thermal insulation, fireproof and soundproof material. It has the properties of light weight, fireproof, non-burning in case of open flame, smokeless, non-toxic, and no dripping, and has a wide range of operating temperatures. 

 As a safe, green and new energy-saving building material, phenolic foam has been recognized by construction departments and public security fire departments, and is a must-have product for fire prevention in many countries.

Application of phenolic board

Phenolic insulation board is widely used in many countries, according to statistics:

  • 40% of fireproof, heat-insulating and sound-proofing materials in the United States are phenolic resins;

  • The United Kingdom, Western Europe and the Middle East stipulate that new construction projects should give priority to the use of phenolic foam insulation materials;

  • The construction departments in France and Northern Europe believe that only phenolic foam insulation materials have good fire resistance;

  • Russia and Eastern Europe also widely use phenolic foam insulation materials in public buildings and high-rise buildings;

  • Japan even promulgated the "Phenolic Foam Plastics as Standard Building Flame-Resistant Materials" decree.

Phenolic boards are mainly used in some safety measures above the building or special fireproof places, logistics cold chain insulation and other industries, such as KTV, aviation, logistics transportation, gas stations, ventilation pipes and other industries. The application range of phenolic boards is not only wide in China, but also in many countries in the world. The application of phenolic boards has been greatly promoted.
