Abstract
Abstract Continuous process for the manufacture of amino resin solutions, especially solutions of urea/formaldehyde resins, by contacting the reactants in a cascade of at least three stirred vessels with back-mixing of the solution whilst maintaining specific molar ratios of amino resin forming material to formaldehyde and specific pH ranges in the individual stirred vessels.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
34 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the molar ratio of formaldehyde to amino resin forming material in the subsequent stirred vessel or vessels is in the range of from 1.8 to 2.1.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
20 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the reaction is carried out in four or five cascade-connected stirred vessels.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the amino resin forming material is urea.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
46 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the catalyst mixture is a solution containing ammonia or amines and acids or acid salts thereof having a pK value of less than 4.0, the molar retio of ammonia or amine to acid being from 10 to 150.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
39 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein, in place of pure formaldehyde solution, a solution of a precondensate of formaldehyde and urea having a molar ratio of formaldehyde to urea of at least 1:3.5 is reacted with urea.
