Claim 1
Independent Claim
183 words
A phenolic aldehyde resin comprising: a phenolic compound, a thionamide having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or said thionamide in combination with urea or thiourea in an amount to about 1 to about 10 weight percent of the resin, and an aldehyde selected from the group consisting of formaldehyde, paraformaldehyde, acetaldehyde, which is prepared by: a. reacting the phenolic compound with a thionamide having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or thionamide mixture of said thionamide and urea or thiourea and aldehyde in an amount to give a mole ratio of phenolic compound to aldehyde in the range of about 0.2 to about 2.0 and a mole ratio of phenolic compound to thionamide or thionamide mixture in the range of about 0.2 to about 2.0 and a mole ratio of the thionamide or thionamide mixture to aldehyde in the range of about 0.5 to about 5.0 at an acid or a basic pH at a temperature in the range of about 0° C. to about 100° C. and for a period of time in the range of about 1 hr. to about 20 hrs.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
183 words
A phenolic aldehyde resin comprising: a phenolic compound, a thionamide having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or said thionamide in combination with urea or thiourea in an amount to about 1 to about 10 weight percent of the resin, and an aldehyde selected from the group consisting of formaldehyde, paraformaldehyde, acetaldehyde, which is prepared by: a. reacting the phenolic compound with a thionamide having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or thionamide mixture of said thionamide and urea or thiourea and aldehyde in an amount to give a mole ratio of phenolic compound to aldehyde in the range of about 0.2 to about 2.0 and a mole ratio of phenolic compound to thionamide or thionamide mixture in the range of about 0.2 to about 2.0 and a mole ratio of the thionamide or thionamide mixture to aldehyde in the range of about 0.5 to about 5.0 at an acid or a basic pH at a temperature in the range of about 0° C. to about 100° C. and for a period of time in the range of about 1 hr. to about 20 hrs.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim

Phenolic aldehyde resin according to claim 1 wherein the resin is prepared by reacting the phenolic compound with a stoichemetric excess of aldehyde and adding the thionamide in an amount in the range of about 1 to about 10 weight percent of the resin.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
