<strong>Application</strong> Note<br />

Introduction<br />

Novolac resins are thermoplastic materials made with an excess of phenol in an<br />

acid catalyzed reaction with formaldehyde. Novolacs are commonly employed as<br />

photoresists (light-sensitive materials used to form patterned surface coatings) and<br />

in varnishes. They have higher heat distortion temperatures and tend to be more<br />

expensive than regular epoxy resins.
