Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to oil-modified phenolic resole varnishes particularly useful for impregnating paper laminates. Specifically, the invention relates to such compositions in which an economical and useful mixture of alcohols is used as the reaction medium for the resole formation. Laminates prepared using the varnish are characterized by salutary qualities.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
74 words
In the process of preparing an oil-modified resole by (a) reacting a phenol moiety with tung oil in the presence of strong acid and (b) reacting the product of (a) in an alcohol solvent with an aldehyde moiety in the presence of an amine catalyst, the improvement which consists of using as the alcohol solvent a mixture consisting of, by weight, from 15 to 50 percent methyl alcohol and 85 to 50percent isopropyl alcohol.
