Abstract
Abstract Compositions which are useful for binding solid, discrete particles are comprised of a liquid one-step phenol formaldehyde resin, a urea resin component such as urea formaldehyde, an accelerator selected from an acid and a salt of an acid, and an aqueous emulsion of polyethylene. The wet mixtures of the foregoing components exhibit improved flow characteristics in intricate molds. The wet mixtures are useful for molding foundry core compositions and consolidated wood compositions that have improved moisture resistance.
