Abstract
Abstract A controlled reaction is had by reacting a phenol monomer with a basic catalyst to form a phenolate salt and the phenolate salt is then reacted with an aldehyde while dispersed throughout the inorganic filler of a molding compound. The reaction is stopped at a fusible state to produce a molding compound.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 20
Claim 1
Independent Claim
73 words
A method of producing molding compounds from phenol aldehyde condensates that are produced by means of a basic catalyst comprising: reacting a phenol monomer with the basic catalyst for the reaction to form a phenolate salt; reacting the phenolate salt with the aldehyde therefor in relative proportions to form the phenol-aldehyde condensate and while dispersed throughout the inorganic filler of the molding compound, and causing the reaction to stop at a fusible state.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
73 words
A method of producing molding compounds from phenol aldehyde condensates that are produced by means of a basic catalyst comprising: reacting a phenol monomer with the basic catalyst for the reaction to form a phenolate salt; reacting the phenolate salt with the aldehyde therefor in relative proportions to form the phenol-aldehyde condensate and while dispersed throughout the inorganic filler of the molding compound, and causing the reaction to stop at a fusible state.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the basic catalyst is dispersed throughout the inorganic filler before the phenol is reacted therewith.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the aldehyde is a solid and the solid aldehyde is dry blended with the filler and phenolate salt before the reaction is initiated.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
The method of claim 3 wherein free water is eliminated and the material is subdivided to a flowable solid.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
A method of producing molded parts comprising: compressing the product of claim 1 between heated surfaces to finish crosslinking the incompletely crosslinked condensate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
28 words
A method of producing molded parts comprising: introducing the flowable solid of claim 4 into a heated mold, and further crosslinking the fusible condensate into an infusible state.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
60 words
A method of producing molding compounds comprising: hydrating a base containing inorganic hydratable cement, pulverizing the hydrated cement, reacting the pulverized hydrated cement with a material containing a phenolic hydroxyl group, mixing the reaction product with an aldehyde in relative proportions to form the phenol-aldehyde condensate, and reacting the phenolic reaction product and aldehyde into a fusible incompletely crosslinked condensate.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
60 words
A method of producing molding compounds comprising: hydrating a base containing inorganic hydratable cement, pulverizing the hydrated cement, reacting the pulverized hydrated cement with a material containing a phenolic hydroxyl group, mixing the reaction product with an aldehyde in relative proportions to form the phenol-aldehyde condensate, and reacting the phenolic reaction product and aldehyde into a fusible incompletely crosslinked condensate.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
20 words
The method of claim 7 including the step of cooling the mixture containing the fusible condensate to prevent complete crosslinking.
