The invention relates to a production method of
cashew nut oil modified phenolic resin.
Phenol and
cashew nut oil are sufficiently mixed under the acidic or alkaline environment, wherein, the main ingredient of the
cashew nut oil is the polyhydric
phenol of C8-C27, the weight of the cashew nut oil accounts for twenty to thirty percent (weight percentage) of the total weight of the cashew nut oil and the
phenol, and the acidic environment is obtained by using catalyst, the addition amount of which is one to three percent (one to two percent for the alkaline environment); the mixture is mixed with
formaldehyde, temperature is raised, reaction lasts until the synthesis of the phenolic resin is finished, and wherein, the
molar ratio of the
formaldehyde is 1:0.72 to 0.78 (1:1.2 to 1.4 for the alkaline environment. the catalyst must be
ammonia). The
thermoplastic phenolic resin prepared by the invention is characterized in low
free phenol and high molecular weight and can be applied to not only molding materials but also friction materials; meanwhile, the production process of the modified phenolic moulding materials is simple, the use amount of
phenol and
formaldehyde is reduced, the concentration of
wastewater is lowered, and therefore environment is protected; moreover, the
plant oil applied by the preparation method of the invention is a regenerative resource.
