Friction

We provide a wide selection of both novalac and resole Bakelite Syntheic phenolic resins, of unmodified and modified resins. These resins are used in impregnation, saturation, and compression molding - cold, hot, or warm.

These resin systems go into automotive disc brake pads, drum brake linings, and clutch facings.
