Mitsui MILEX™ Straight Novolak Phenolic Resin  (discontinued **)

The MILEX™ Family of products is widely featured in brake systems of automobiles made by the top automakers through Mitsui Chemicals' affiliation with leading brake manufacturers. The phenolic material is primarily used as binders in brake pad and clutch facing disc friction materials. The advantage of incorporating the MILEX material into a brake design is that the material provides a non-abrasive, vibratory free surface finish, which is very important in the performance of the brake system. Additionally, its superior performance at elevated temperatures and excellent moldability aids in brake noise reduction.Applications: Automotive friction materials (brake pads, clutch facing discs, etc)Epoxy resin hardener for electronic materialsAdditive to improve heat resistance of thermoplasticsAdhesives, especially with elastomers, to bond to metalInformation provided by Mitsui.
