The article is a review about the chemistry and degradation behavior of phenolic resins. The mechanism and kinetic of the chemistry reactions under basic and acidic conditions were described. Mechanism of thermal degradation reactions of phenolic resins was described applying by different models proposed in the bibliography. Fire resistance, smoke developed and flame retardants of phenolic resins as well as the thermal degradation of phenol-formaldehyde resins from renewable resources were described
