Abstract A compression-molding composition contains a phenol-formaldehyde resin, a filler, a curing agent, viz. hexamethylenetetramine, a curing accelerator such as calcium oxide or magnesium oxide, and a lubricant such as stearin or stearates. The filler comprises a product resulting from the treatment of crushed wood with an aqueous solution of phenol and formaldehyde at the boiling temperature of said solution in the presence of hydrochloric acid at a weight ratio between phenol, formaldehyde, water, hydrochloric acid, crushed wood equal to 0.15-0.80:0.045-0.864:6-15:0.0435-0.1086:1 respectively. Proportions of the components are as follows, parts by weight: -phenol-formaldehyde resin 15 to 45 -filler 47.5 to 75 -curing agent 7 to 9 -curing accelerator 0.5 to 1 -lubricant 0.6 to 0.9 - The compression-molding composition according to the present invention has an increased water-resistance (17 to 19 mg), heat-resistance (up to 182 DEG C.) along with other properties satisfying the requirements of modern standards. This enlarges the field of application of the compression-molding composition of this invention as compared to the prior art phenolic compression-molding compositions.
A compression-moulding composition containing 15 to 45 parts by weight of a phenol-formaldehyde resin, 47.5 to 75 parts by weight of a filler comprising a product of the treatment of crushed wood with an aqueous solution of phenol and formaldehyde at the boiling temperature of said solution in the presence of hydrochloric acid at a weight ratio between phenol, formaldehyde, water, hydrochloric acid and crushed wood equal to 0.15-0.80:0.045-0.864:6-15:0.0435-0.1086:1 respectively, 7 to 9 parts by weight of a curing agent, i.e. hexamethylenetetramine, 0.5 to 1 part by weight of a curing accelerator selected from the group consisting of calcium oxide and magnesium oxide and 0.6 to 0.9 part by weight of a lubricant selected from the group consisting of stearin and stearates.
