The Advantages of Phenolic Resin Tables

Advantages of Phenolic Resin Tables

When comparing Epoxy Resin Table Tops to Phenolic Resin Table Tops, many people have found phenolic resins to be a relatively new type of resin with several distinct advantages. One of the main advantages of phenolic resins is that phenolic resins have almost all the characteristics of epoxy resins, but they are generally less expensive. It also performs particularly well when used in a laboratory environment involving continuous high heat exposure.

Another important consideration between the epoxy resin sheet and the phenolic resin table top is the weight — the phenolic resin is almost always lighter than the epoxy resin. This may be a special consideration if you are shipping materials because the cost of phenolic resin delivery may be lower.

Disadvantages of Phenolic Resin Countertop

As mentioned above, Phenolic Resins have several advantages. However, this material is a composite material made of compressed resin impregnated kraft paper. This may make it easier to wear than epoxy.

In summary, it is important to carefully consider the benefits of epoxy and phenolic resins when weighing which surface type is best.
