I am looking for a type of novolak called cresol-novolak. There are orto meta and para Cresol types.
Does anybody know whhere to find this type of novolak? It is intended for synthesis of photoresist.
It should NOT be cresol-epoxy-novolak which is something completly different.
Any idea is og great help. I coul dsynthesis the novolak myself also but it is a bit messy process.

Re: Cresol-Novolak for photoresist synthesis
Hey Ralonica, you're right—sourcing pure cresol-novolak (especially separated into ortho/meta/para) can be tricky. Have you checked with chemical suppliers like Sigma-Aldrich or TCI?Ralonica wrote: ↑Fri May 02, 2025 4:02 am I am looking for a type of novolak called cresol-novolak.
