The invention discloses a phenolic
plastic foam. The phenolic
plastic foam is prepared from 600 Kg of
phenol, 375 Kg of
solid formaldehyde, 8 Kg of an alkali, 25 Kg of water, 5 Kg of
formic acid and 25 Kg of
urea. A production process of the phenolic
plastic foam comprises the following steps: preparing phenolic resin glue, firstly pumping dissolved
phenol into a reaction kettle, sequentially pumping
paraformaldehyde and a dissolved alkali, starting to heat the solution from about 50 DEG C to 55 DEG C for 20 min, continuing to heat the solution to 65-70 DEG C for 1.5 h, and then starting heat preservation at 72-82 DEG C. The pH value of the phenolic plastic foam is superior to that of similar products at home and abroad, most of the similar products at present have the pH value of 2-3 and can be neutral only after being neutralized by
ammonia water and
ammonia gas, produced phenolic plastic foam changes the PH value of existing phenolic resin, the
water storage capacity and the production efficiency are improved, bad gas is discharged, the pH value reaches 5-6,
plant root burning is avoided, the forming speed is high, and the phenolic plastic foam can be used for fresh-keeping and
seedling raising of fresh
cut flowers.
