Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
115 words
In a process for the manufacture of impregnating resins based on precondensates of melamine and formaldehyde, wherein melamine and formaldehyde are condensed at a molar ratio of melamine to formaldehyde of from 1:1.6 to 1:6 in aqueous solution, the improvement comprising the addition of a fatty acid dialkyl amide which is soluble in the aqueous impregnating resin solution and has the formula ##STR2## where R 1 is hydrogen or lower alkyl and R 2 and R 3 are alkyl of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, to the aqueous solution before, during or after condensation in an amount of from 1 to 20% by weight, based on the melamine/formaldehyde precondensate content of the aqueous solution.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
115 words
In a process for the manufacture of impregnating resins based on precondensates of melamine and formaldehyde, wherein melamine and formaldehyde are condensed at a molar ratio of melamine to formaldehyde of from 1:1.6 to 1:6 in aqueous solution, the improvement comprising the addition of a fatty acid dialkyl amide which is soluble in the aqueous impregnating resin solution and has the formula ##STR2## where R 1 is hydrogen or lower alkyl and R 2 and R 3 are alkyl of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, to the aqueous solution before, during or after condensation in an amount of from 1 to 20% by weight, based on the melamine/formaldehyde precondensate content of the aqueous solution.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein an amide of the general formula stated in claim 1 in which R 1 is alkyl of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms is used.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
93 words
An aqueous impregnating resin solution which comprises: a precondensate of melamine and formaldehyde at a molar ratio of from 1:1.6 to 1:6; and a soluble fatty acid dialkyl amide of the formula ##STR3## where R 1 is hydrogen or lower alkyl and R 2 and R 3 are alkyl of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, the amount of said amide being from 1 to 20% by weight based on the melamine/formaldehyde precondensate content of the aqueous solution, the solids content of said aqueous solution being from about 30 to 70% by weight.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
93 words
An aqueous impregnating resin solution which comprises: a precondensate of melamine and formaldehyde at a molar ratio of from 1:1.6 to 1:6; and a soluble fatty acid dialkyl amide of the formula ##STR3## where R 1 is hydrogen or lower alkyl and R 2 and R 3 are alkyl of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, the amount of said amide being from 1 to 20% by weight based on the melamine/formaldehyde precondensate content of the aqueous solution, the solids content of said aqueous solution being from about 30 to 70% by weight.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
32 words
A resin solution as set forth in claim 3 wherein the amount of said amide is from 3 to 10% by weight based on the melamine/formaldehyde precondensate content of the aqueous solution.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
A resin solution as set forth in claim 3 wherein the solids content of said solution is from 50 to 60% by weight.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
19 words
A resin solution as set forth in claim 3 wherein the molar ratio of melamine/formaldehyde is 1:6 to 1:3.
