Exports from the United States.

Appreciable quantities of phenolic resins are exported annually in the form of molding compounds and as finished articles of wide variety. Statistics of these exports are not compiled separately by the Department of Commerce.

Exportation is limited by a number of factors, such as licensing agreements, patents, allocation of markets, and high tariffs or embargoes in certain countries. The largest domestic maker is affiliated with producers in Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Canada, and Japan. Other domestic firms have agreements as to patents and markets with producers in England, Germany, and other countries.
