Abstract
Abstract Concentrated boric anhydride solutions containing more than 5% of boric anhydride in an organic solvent selected from mono or polyalcohols, trialkylborate and/or dialkylacetal when the solvent also contains an acid selected from sulfuric acid and/or aromatic acids. These solutions are used as hardeners of formo-phenolic resols, more particularly for the manufacture of laminates comprising glass fibers and formo-phenolic resols.
