The early stage in the reactions of certain thermosetting polymers wherein the material is still quite soluble in various liquids and flowable at elevated temperatures; readily formable into specific configurations.
An early stage of polymerization of thermosetting resins in which the material is still soluble in certain liquids and is fusible. Also called resole. See also B-stage and C-stage.
An early stage in the reaction of certain thermosetting resins in which the material has not yet been cured.
An early stage in the reaction of certain thermosetting resins in which the material is fusible and still soluble in certain liquids.
The stage of curing of a polymer resin where the polymer is still of relatively low molecular weight and thus both readily soluble and fusible.
