Claim 2
Dependent Claim
210 words
A polyadduct/polycondensate which can be diluted with water when protonated with an acid, contains basic nitrogen groups, and has been obtained by the polyaddition reaction of (A) from 5 to 90% by weight of a Mannich base obtained from (a) a monophenol or polyphenol or a mixture of a monophenol and a polyphenol, (b) one or more dialkylamines of the formula ##STR24## where R 1 and R 2 are identical or different and are each alkyl or alkoxyalkyl of 1 to 9 carbon atoms, or are linked to one another to form a 5-membered or 6-membered ring, and (c) formaldehyde or a formaldehyde donor, with (B) from 10 to 95% by weight of one or more epoxy resins, wherein the polyadduct/polycondensate of (A) with (B) contains groups, which are bonded to aromatic rings, of the formula (I) ##STR25## and may or may not contain groups of the formula (II) ##STR26## where R 3 and R 4 are identical or different and are each alkyl of 1 to 9 carbon atoms, or hydroxyalkyl or alkoxyalkyl, each of 2 to 10 carbon atoms, or are linked to one another to form a 5-membered or 6-membered ring, and R 5 and R 6 are identical or different and are each hydrogen or methyl.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
115 words
A polyadduct/polycondensate as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein the monophenols or polyphenols, or mixture of monophenols and polyphenols, (a) used to prepare the Mannich base (A) are (a 1 ) one or more mononuclear or polynuclear monophenols or polyphenols, or a mixture of such monophenols and polyphenols, some or all of which are replaced by (a 2 ) a mononuclear or polynuclear monophenol or polyphenol, or a mixture of a monophenol and a polyphenol of this type, which contains groups of the formula (I) ##STR27## and may or may not contain groups of the formula (II) ##STR28## where R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 have the above meanings.
