Abstract:

A phenol-formaldehyde resole resin is prepared using a high level of catalyst at a polymerization temperature of about 63Â C. The endpoint, measured by salt water tolerance, is selected so that the resulting resin has a water dilutability of 20:1 at neutral pH after storage for three weeks at a temperature of about 13Â C. , with a free phenol level of no more than 0. 50 percent.
