Chat with our AI personalities
Novolacs are thermosetting resins that are usually rigid and have high heat resistance. They require a curing agent to crosslink, such as formaldehyde. Resol resins are also thermosetting resins but are more flexible and have good chemical resistance. They self-cure at higher temperatures, without the need for an additional curing agent.
