Corrosion resistance of phenolic resin ball
Good resistance to contact with low acids and bases, hydrocarbons, petroleum products, alcohols, glycols, mineral oils and fats. Do not resist acids and strong bases, oxidizing agents, phenols, strong alkaline solutions.
Applications of phenolic resin ball
Special pumps and valves, computer industry (mouse), gambling balls ( billiards, bowling, board games).
Density* : For large diameters, lower density balls (about 1.3 g/cm3) and GIV precision grade could be available. Heat-hardening resin balls (density 1,2-1,7 g/cm3): Bills generally used for aesthetic applications, available in different styles and with a polished or matt surface finish.
