Phenolic Resins Market Dynamics

Environmental guidelines about formaldehyde production are the major restraining factors to restrict the Phenolic resin market growth. Phenolic resins are made from raw materials such as phenol and formaldehyde. Phenolic is also used in the manufacturing of compound wood products, building materials, paper products, paints and coating. But, the exposure to Phenolic resin can create adverse health issues as it is acidic to body tissue. It can also cause poisoning problem from ingestion and inhalation. Consequently, restrictions are made on the use of Phenol in the regions Europe and America. Environmental emission rules of formaldehyde can restrain the Phenolic resins market growth.
