Abstract
Abstract The production of amine resins having Mannich base groups which dissolve in water with the aid of a solubilizing acid is disclosed in which a dihydric phenolic organic compound, such as a bisphenol, is reacted in organic solvent medium with at least 3 moles of formaldehyde per mol of bisphenol to at least partially methylolate the bisphenol prior to other reactions. The at least partially methylolated product is then reacted with a stoichiometric deficiency of organic diepoxide, and then with monosecondary amine to provide Mannich base groups. The Mannich base-containing product is then reacted with additional epoxide-functional material.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
A method for the production of amine resins having Mannich base groups which dissolve in water with the aid of a solubilizing acid comprising, reacting a dihydric phenolic organic compound in organic solvent medium with formaldehyde in an amount of at least 3 moles per mol of dihydric phenolic compound to at least partially methylolate said dihydric phenolic compound, reacting the at least partially methylolated product with a stoichiometric deficiency of organic diepoxide, then reacting the product so-provided wth monosecondary amine to provide Mannich base groups, and then reacting the product with its Mannich base groups with additional epoxide-functional material.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
100 words
A method for the production of amine resins having Mannich base groups which dissolve in water with the aid of a solubilizing acid comprising, reacting a dihydric phenolic organic compound in organic solvent medium with formaldehyde in an amount of at least 3 moles per mol of dihydric phenolic compound to at least partially methylolate said dihydric phenolic compound, reacting the at least partially methylolated product with a stoichiometric deficiency of organic diepoxide, then reacting the product so-provided wth monosecondary amine to provide Mannich base groups, and then reacting the product with its Mannich base groups with additional epoxide-functional material.
