Polytone AP 131 is a non heat reactive thermoplastic phenol-alkyl
phenol resin designed for use in synthetic and natural rubber based
compounds in applications that require high hardness compounds that
process easily.

Compatibility:
Excellent compatibility in synthetic and natural rubbers. Blends easily into
rubber stocks.
Application:
Polytone AP 131 is particularly suited for industrial tread applications
such as farm, off the road, mining and truck tires. Tread compounds with
5-10 phr of AP 131 cross linked with a methylene donor shall have excellent
cut and chip resistance along with excellent abrasion resistance and high
hardness.
