1913 H. Lebach in Jrnl. Soc. Chem. Industry 32 559/2 Besides these products, Baekeland distinguishes an intermediate polymerisation product, which he terms ‘Bakelite “B”’... This intermediate condensation product I would suggest to call ‘Resitol’.

1950 Thorpe's Dict. Appl. Chem. (ed. 4) X. 24/2 When heated at temperatures above 100° c. it melts and froths, becoming more viscous and eventually reaching the rubbery stage, the ‘B’ or resitol stage.

1973 Materials & Technol. VI. viii. 588 Phenol resins evolve in three stages, which are connected with the degree of condensation:..2. Resitol or B-stage (continued condensation, slight cross-linking): insoluble, rubbery.

1998 Thermochimica Acta 320 210/1 Further condensation gives gradual crosslinking of resol that initially turns the material into resitol and finally into resite.
