Phenolic Resin 3102 is a high-toughness, heat-resistant thermoset resin that differs from traditional 1101 and 2201 grades. It boasts excellent impact resistance and reliable high-temperature performance, tailored for applications requiring rigorous mechanical strength and thermal stability. Produced from phenol and formaldehyde with exclusive toughening modifiers through sophisticated polymerization technology, the product is a pale brown-yellow transparent solid with almost no odor. After curing, it maintains remarkable toughness and stable structural properties, well suited for high-strength rubber reinforcement, high-end mold production and high-temperature composite components.

Product advantages
RT3102 is able to replace the resorcinol and R-80, which is uneasy to agglomerate in outside and no smoking when mixing. Good bonding performance makes the adhesive strength between the material and fiber or wire much higher. Thus it can improve durability of the tire.
Mechanism
On the vulcanizing temperature, under the effect of the white carbon black, the adhesive reaction characterized by chemical bonding and inter molecular force is occurring between RT3102 and framework material meanwhile the vulcanization reaction characterized by the structure of methylene bridge and oxy naphthalene is occurring as well.
packing and storage
It's packaging by double layer of kraft paper bag with a middle layer of plastic film, and the inner is the PE plastic bag. The weight is generally 25kgs. The resin must be stored in cool, ventilated and dry place(below 25℃),to avoid direct sunlight and away from the heat source. In the storage and transportation, when contact heat or water, with time, the resin is going to agglomerate with deeper color. The product is valid over 1 year.
FAQ
What are the main advantages compared with resorcinol / R-80?
It does not agglomerate easily during storage, and produces no smoke during rubber mixing. It provides excellent bonding strength between rubber and fiber or steel wire, which effectively improves tire durability.
What is its working principle during vulcanization?
At vulcanizing temperature and with the presence of white carbon black, RT3102 forms chemical bonds and intermolecular forces with framework materials. Meanwhile, crosslinking reaction with methylene bridge and oxynaphthalene structure takes place to build stable adhesion.
What are the storage requirements and shelf life?
Store in cool, ventilated and dry place below 25℃, avoid direct sunlight and heat sources. It may agglomerate and darken if exposed to heat or moisture during storage & transport. Shelf life: 12 months.
