Abstract
Abstract Resins having a softening point of from 50° to 130° C., an OH-number of from 250 to 400 and an iodine number of from 90 to 160, obtainable by reacting an alkyl phenol-formaldehyde novolak or an alkyl phenol mixture-formaldehyde novolak under acid-catalysed conditions with a polunuclear phenol or polynuclear phenol mixture and formaldehyde and/or an aliphatic aldehyde or aliphatic aldehyde mixture, the ratio by weight of the alkyl phenol or alkyl phenol mixture to the polynuclear phenol or polynyclear phenol mixture being from 2.2:1 to 1:10.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
Novolak resins having a softening point of from 50° to 130° C., an OH-number of from 250 to 400 and an iodine number of from 90 to 160, obtainable by reacting (a) an alkyl phenol-formaldehyde novalak or an alkyl phenol mixture-formaldehyde novolak produced by reacting an alkyl phenol or an alkyl phenol mixture with one to two times the molar quality of formaldehyde in the presence of acid catalyst at temperatures of from 100° to 180° C. (b) with (i) a polynuclear phenol or polynuclear phenol mixture and (ii) a member selected from the group consisting of formaldehyde, an aliphatic aldehyde, aliphatic aldehyde mixture and mixtures thereof, under acid-catalyzed conditions, the ratio by weight of the alkyl phenol or alkyl phenol mixture to the polynuclear phenol or polynuclear phenol mixture being from 2.2:1 to 1:10.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
135 words
Novolak resins having a softening point of from 50° to 130° C., an OH-number of from 250 to 400 and an iodine number of from 90 to 160, obtainable by reacting (a) an alkyl phenol-formaldehyde novalak or an alkyl phenol mixture-formaldehyde novolak produced by reacting an alkyl phenol or an alkyl phenol mixture with one to two times the molar quality of formaldehyde in the presence of acid catalyst at temperatures of from 100° to 180° C. (b) with (i) a polynuclear phenol or polynuclear phenol mixture and (ii) a member selected from the group consisting of formaldehyde, an aliphatic aldehyde, aliphatic aldehyde mixture and mixtures thereof, under acid-catalyzed conditions, the ratio by weight of the alkyl phenol or alkyl phenol mixture to the polynuclear phenol or polynuclear phenol mixture being from 2.2:1 to 1:10.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
Resins as claimed in claim 1 having a softening point of from 75° to 100° C., an OH-number of from 270 to 370 and an iodine number of from 110 to 140.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
65 words
Resins as claimed in claim 1, characterised in that the alkyl phenol-formaldehyde novolak used as starting material for the reaction is produced by reacting alkyl phenols or mixtures of alkyl phenols, which have a straight-chain or branched-chain alkyl or cycloalkyl radical with 3 to 20 carbon atoms in the o- and/or p-position, with from 1 to 2 moles of formaldehyde per mole of alkyl phenol.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
Resins as claimed in claim 1, characterised in that the polynuclear phenol used is 4,4-dihydroxydiphenyl, 2,2-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-propane, 2,2-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-butane, 1,1-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-cyclohexane and/or bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-p-diisopropyl benzene.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
39 words
Resins as claimed in claim 1, characterised in that the reaction of the alkyl phenol-formaldehyde novolak with the polynuclear phenol or polynuclear phenol mixture is carried out in the presence of from 0.1 to 0.6 mole of an aldehyde.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
71 words
A process for producing the resins claimed in claim 1, characterised in that an alkyl phenol-formaldehyde novolak or an alkyl phenol mixture-formaldehyde novolak is reacted under acid-catalysed conditions with a polynuclear phenol or polynuclear phenol mixture and formaldehyde and/or an aliphatic aldehyde or aliphatic aldehyde mixture, the ratio by weight of the alkyl phenol or alkyl phenol mixture to the polynuclear phenol or polynuclear phenol mixture being from 2.2:1 to 1:10.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
21 words
The use of the resins claimed in claim 1 as tackifiers for the production of rubber mixtures adhering to one another.
