Abstract
Abstract Metal-modified para-substituted phenol-aldehyde novolak resins suitable for use in pressure sensitive manifolding systems are produced by melting and mixing together a para-substituted phenol-aldehyde resin and a metal alkanoate salt in the presence of an ammonium compound.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
56 words
A method for producing a metal-modified phenol-aldehyde novolak resin comprising the steps of melting together with mixing, a composition consisting essentially of a one to three carbon atom alkanoic salt of a metal selected from copper, zinc, cadmium, aluminum, indium, tin, chromium, cobalt and nickel, an ammonium compound or ammonia and a phenol-aldehyde novolak resin material.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
56 words
A method for producing a metal-modified phenol-aldehyde novolak resin comprising the steps of melting together with mixing, a composition consisting essentially of a one to three carbon atom alkanoic salt of a metal selected from copper, zinc, cadmium, aluminum, indium, tin, chromium, cobalt and nickel, an ammonium compound or ammonia and a phenol-aldehyde novolak resin material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the composition is protected, during melting, from contact with air.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the composition is protected, during melting by a flow of helium gas over the surface thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the alkanoic salt is a salt of propionic acid.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
13 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the alkanoic salt is a zinc salt.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
12 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the alkanoic salt is zinc dipropionate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
14 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the novolak resin is a para octylphenolformaldehyde resin.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
13 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the novolak resin is a paraphenylformaldehyde resin.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
19 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the ammonium compound is selected from ammonium acetate, ammonium carbonate, and ammonium hydroxide.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
27 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the alkanoic salt is zinc dipropionate, the ammonium compound is ammonium carbonate, and the novolak resin is a para-octylphenol formaldehyde resin.
Claim 12
Independent Claim
75 words
A method for producing a zinc-modified paraoctylphenol-formaldehyde novolak resin by the steps of mixing and melting together 1000 parts by weight of paraoctylphenol-formaldehyde novolak resin, 0.75 moles of zinc dipropionate and 1.9 moles of ammonium carbonate, heating to a temperature of 160° to 170° C. for one hour, and maintaining a flow of helium over the surface during the heating period, to produce a product containing 4.9% by weight of zinc based on said resin.
Claim 13
Independent Claim
75 words
A method for producing a zinc-modified paraoctylphenol-formaldehyde novolak resin by the steps of mixing and melting together 1000 parts by weight of paraoctylphenol-formaldehyde novolak resin, 0.75 moles of zinc dipropionate and 1.9 moles of ammonium carbonate, heating to a temperature of 160° to 170° C. for one hour, and maintaining a flow of helium over the surface during the heating period, to produce a product containing 4.9% by weight of zinc based on said resin.
