Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
A proces for the preparation of a moisture-stable phenolic resin binder comprising condensing a phenol and formaldehyde in an aqueous media in the presence of calcium hydroxide as catalyst to form a condensation product, cooling the reaction mixture after the condensation to 10° to 20° C., adjusting the pH of the reaction mixture to 8.5 to 10.5 by addition of a base and then adding 0.8 to 2.0 moles of sulfate ions per mol of the calcium ions while maintaining the pH in the range of 8.5 to 10.5.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
89 words
A proces for the preparation of a moisture-stable phenolic resin binder comprising condensing a phenol and formaldehyde in an aqueous media in the presence of calcium hydroxide as catalyst to form a condensation product, cooling the reaction mixture after the condensation to 10° to 20° C., adjusting the pH of the reaction mixture to 8.5 to 10.5 by addition of a base and then adding 0.8 to 2.0 moles of sulfate ions per mol of the calcium ions while maintaining the pH in the range of 8.5 to 10.5.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the molar ratio of phenol to formaldehyde is 1:1.3 to 1:4.0.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the amount of calcium hydroxide is 0.5 to 10.0% by weight based on the phenolic resin.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the phenolic resin contains up to 100 parts by weight of urea per 100 parts by weight phenol charged.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
11 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the base added is ammonia.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
17 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the sulfate ions are added in the form of ammonium sulfate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the moles of sulfate ions added are 0.8 to 1.2 moles per mole of calcium ions.
