AkzoNobel Phenol-Resorcinol-Formaldehyde systems are used in load-bearing constructions and in other applications where there is demand for high water resistance. Phenol-Resorcinol-formaldehyde adhesives are mainly used in the structural application area. The dark glue line is strong and resistant to both weather and water. Phenol-Resorcinol resins are mostly used in laminated beam production, but the PRF adhesives can be used in many other application areas where high glue line strength and water resistance is needed. Examples are boat building and furniture intended for outdoor use.
