Abstract

Abstract Phenolic foam products are fabricated from phenol-aldehyde resol; a blowing agent; a condensation catalyst; a cell control agent; and an allyl ether of methylol-substituted phenol wherein the said allyl ether is present in a range from 0.5 to 25 percent by weight of the phenol-aldehyde resol. The function of the allyl ether is to overcome the extreme friability of the phenolic foam system.
