Abstract

Abstract A method is disclosed for preparing a stable aqueous emulsion of a phenolic resin which is characterized by adding polyacrylamides and, if required, further adding dispersing agents to the phenolic resin during or after the completion of a reaction of components which comprise (A) between about five (5) and one hundred (100) parts by weight of one or more phenols, (B) between zero (0) and about ninety-five (95) parts by weight of aldehyde-reactive modifier, and (C) in excess of 0.4 mole of aldehydes based on the total amount of one (1) mole of (A) and (B) described above. Emulsions obtained by the present invention are useful as binders for inorganic materials and organic materials, as compounding ingredients for latex, as emulsion and water paints and so forth; and, furthermore, there are various uses such as grouting agent, reinforcing agent for synthetic rubber, self-hardening binder for foundry sands, raw material of phenolic resin foam, binder for abrasive cloth and paper, and the like.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 143 words
A process for producing an aqueous emulsion which remains stable at room temperature during long term storage consists essentially of the steps of preparing a phenolic resin by commencing the reaction by heating (1) about 5 to about 100 parts by weight of an phenol and 0 to about 95 parts by weight of a modifier reactive with an aldehyde, and (2) a methylene donor compound in a proportion of more than 0.4 mole per mole of the total amount of said phenol and said modifier, in the presence of a catalyst; introducing a polyacrylamide into the reaction mixture, and then continuing the reaction under the same conditions to produce the stable aqueous emulsion, wherein said polyacrylamide is present in a proportion of about 0.5 to about 60 weight percent of polyacrylamide based on the weight of solids present in the stable emulsion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 143 words
A process for producing an aqueous emulsion which remains stable at room temperature during long term storage consists essentially of the steps of preparing a phenolic resin by commencing the reaction by heating (1) about 5 to about 100 parts by weight of an phenol and 0 to about 95 parts by weight of a modifier reactive with an aldehyde, and (2) a methylene donor compound in a proportion of more than 0.4 mole per mole of the total amount of said phenol and said modifier, in the presence of a catalyst; introducing a polyacrylamide into the reaction mixture, and then continuing the reaction under the same conditions to produce the stable aqueous emulsion, wherein said polyacrylamide is present in a proportion of about 0.5 to about 60 weight percent of polyacrylamide based on the weight of solids present in the stable emulsion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 17 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said phenolic resin is the reaction product of phenol and formaldehyde.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 145 words
A process for producing an aqueous emulsion which remains stable at room temperature during long term storage consists essentially of the steps of preparing a phenolic resin by reacting (1) about 5 to 100 parts by weight of a phenol and 0 to about 95 parts by weight of a modifier reactive with an aldehyde, and (2) a methylene donor compound in a proportion of more than 0.4 mole per mole of the total amount of said phenol and said modifier, in the presence of an acid catalyst; and after completing the reaction, but during the process of preparing the emulsion, introducing a polyacrylamide into the reaction mixture and mixing uniformly to provide the stable aqueous emulsion, wherein said polyacrylamide is present in the proportion of about 0.5 to about 60 weight percent of polyacrylamide based on the weight of solids present in the emulsion.
