Abstract
This invention relates to the manufacture of foam from phenolic resins and to the foam so produced. In order to overcome some the the limitations of the prior art closed cell phenolic foams, we have developed a method of preparing closed cell foams from modified, low cost phenol formaldehyde resoles, which exhibit high closed cell contents, low friability and low thermal conductivity. This specification provides a foam competitive with urethane foams, which have an aged thermal conductivity of about 0.16K. or less, but which will not generate fumes as toxic as those of urethane. There is, provided a method of making a phenolic foam material comprising the steps of
