Is it possible for phenolic resin to be derived from recycled materials?
Recently conducted studies promise that phenolic resin will soon be derived from recovered liquid hydrocarbons through industrial recycling of carbon fiber composites. Due to very popular and widespread applications of carbon fiber composite, it is inevitable that high-volumes of its recycled material will soon be present in our marketplace. Completion of the carbon fiber recycle loop will be a significant and desirable step toward greater environmental awareness. And, as a direct result, phenolic resin will become more proactive as an environmental material.
