Nowadays, synthetic resin tiles have become widely used building materials in construction, and are used in development zones to upgrade slopes, agricultural markets, residential communities, new rural construction of residential villas, awnings, sunshades, antique buildings, etc. Next, the editor will introduce the history of synthetic resin tiles to you.

In 1872, when phenol and formaldehyde were heated under acidic conditions, they could quickly form a reddish brown hard lump or viscous substance, which was discovered by chemist Bayer. However, the experiment was stopped because they could not be purified using the old method. After the 20th century, phenol and formaldehyde were widely available, which made the reaction products of the two more attractive. People hoped to develop useful products, but many people found it difficult to succeed. In 1904, Beckland and his assistants also conducted this study with the aim of producing insulating paint that could replace natural resins. Later, they not only produced insulating paint, but also made truly synthetic plastic materials. However, after entering the 20th century, natural products were no longer able to meet the needs of electrification, prompting people to search for new cheap substitutes. Synthetic resin is the main component of synthetic resin tiles, with a high content. This often determines the properties of synthetic resin tiles based on the properties of the resin. Phenolic resin, which uses coal tar as the raw material, has been the largest producer of various synthetic resins until 1940, reaching over 200000 tons per year. However, with the development of petrochemical industry, the production of polymerized synthetic resins has continued to expand, and they have become the four types of synthetic resins with higher production today. Synthetic resin tiles, combined with additives, are obtained through various molding methods and have become the basic materials for production, daily life, and national defense construction.
