Abstract
Abstract There is disclosed a process for producing a dispersion of a phenolic resin in water by mixing a pre-formed, solid, substantially water-insoluble, phenolic resin with water, an organic coupling solvent, and polyvinyl alcohol. The resulting dispersions are especially useful in coatings applications.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim
124 words
A process for producing a dispersion of a solid, substantially water-insoluble, phenolic resin in water, which process comprises subjecting a mixture of: (a) a pre-formed, solid, substantially waterinsoluble phenolic resin; (b) water; (c) a water miscible organic coupling solvent in an amount from about 15 to about 30 volume percent based upon the volume of water plus coupling solvent; and (d) a polyvinyl alcohol that is hydrolyzed to an extent of from about 85 to about 91 percent in an amount of from about 51/4 to about 13 weight percent based upon the weight of phenolic resin plus polyvinyl alcohol, to shearing agitation at a temperature and for a period of time sufficient to produce a stable dispersion of said phenolic resin in water.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
124 words
A process for producing a dispersion of a solid, substantially water-insoluble, phenolic resin in water, which process comprises subjecting a mixture of: (a) a pre-formed, solid, substantially waterinsoluble phenolic resin; (b) water; (c) a water miscible organic coupling solvent in an amount from about 15 to about 30 volume percent based upon the volume of water plus coupling solvent; and (d) a polyvinyl alcohol that is hydrolyzed to an extent of from about 85 to about 91 percent in an amount of from about 51/4 to about 13 weight percent based upon the weight of phenolic resin plus polyvinyl alcohol, to shearing agitation at a temperature and for a period of time sufficient to produce a stable dispersion of said phenolic resin in water.
