Industrial Process Economics Reports About Phenol-Formaldehyde Resins (PF) Phenol Formaldehyde Resin (PF) is a synthetic polymer used in the production of circuit boards, in the production of molded products (billiard balls, laboratory countertops), and as coatings and adhesives. Phenolic resins are also used for making exterior plywood (WBP). The Intratec portfolio (www.intratec.us/our-portfolio) includes reports examining specific PF Resins
