  • Cyclic urea-formaldehyde prepolymer for use in phenol-formaldehyde and melamine-formaldehyde resin-based binders
    Publication number: 20010000237
    Abstract: The preparation of phenol-formaldehyde and melamine-formaldehyde resin-based binders extended with a cyclic urea-formaldehyde prepolymer and to products prepared using the binders. More particularly, the invention relates to a cyclic urea prepolymer comprising urea, formaldehyde, and ammonia or a primary amine which, when added to a phenol-formaldehyde or melamine-formaldehyde based resin, results in a useful binder for the manufacturer numerous articles.

  • Process for producing a dispersed novolac resin and use in a binder system for thermal insulation
    Patent number: 5670571
    Abstract: An aqueous dispersion of small particles of a phenol/formaldehyde novolac resin, referred to as a dispersed novolac resin, useful for example as a binder in preparing glass fiber insulation. The dispersed novolac resin is produced by preparing a molten novolac resin, cooling, adding water and optionally a surfactant and then adding a protective colloid. Additional water is added to provide the desired dispersion.
