To obtain a phenol resin molding material enhanced in static strength without damaging impact strength.

A phenolic resin molding material consists of 25-45 pts.wt. of a phenolic resin, 45-60 pts.wt. of chopped strand glass fibers with a length of 0.5-12mm and 3-10 pts.wt. of NBR. In the production of the phenolic resin molding material, the phenol resin and NBR are preliminarily kneaded on a hot roll and cooled and ground to obtain a mixture and glass fibers, a curing aid, a release agent and other additives are added to and mixed with the mixture and, further, if necessary, 1-5 pts.wt. of a solvent with a b.p. of 60°C or lower for the phenolic resin is added to the total amt. of the mixture and the whole is uniformly mixed and granulated by a stirrer (Henschel mixer) having a heating.cooling mechanism and high speed rotary blades to obtain a ship-like phenolic resin.glass fiber mixture which is, in turn, pelletized by a single-screw or twin-screw extrusion granulator of L/D=1-4.
