GP® PHENOLIC RESINSBaking enamels – sole binder
Pure heat-reactive phenolic resins can be used as
the sole polymer in the formulation of interior drum andpail linings. The resins provide the highest level ofchemical resistance and produce hard, brittle films
with good adhesion on metal. Because they lack inflexibility, they are used on rigid metal substrates
that do not require impact resistance. Coatings canbe modified with, e.g., polyvinyl butyral to enable
them to withstand shocks or rough handling and yet
maintain their chemical resistance. Optimal baking
conditions are in the range of 15 min. at 210 °C.

Benefits• Highest chemical resistance• Good adhesion• Conforms to US FDA, 21 CFR § 175.300 andEU 10/2011, Annex 1
Application areas:
Metal primer, interior drum and pail linings,
rail and tank car linings, pipe coatings
