Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of resols by reacting phenolic compounds with aldehydes with catalysis by metal salts whose cation can easily be precipitated as low-solubility salts in industrial processes. In this process, a dispersant is added to the reaction mixture comprising phenolic compound, aldehyde and metal salt before, during or after the condensation reaction, and a complexing agent is admixed after the condensation reaction is complete and after the dispersant has been admixed. The resultant resins are transparent even after neutralization using sulphuric acid.

C., wherein the chemically setting binders have an average molecular weight (M.sub.w) of between 500 and 250,000, a melting point of more than 50.degree. C., a glass transition temperature of more than 20.degree. C. and cure fully at temperatures in the range from 80 to 250.degree. C.

Abstract: Neutral metal complex salts with additional ligands acting as bases and a process for their preparation and their use as latent polymerization catalysts for the production of pre-cured products which can be further cured without another curing catalyst.
