Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing an MEK-modified resorcinol-formalin resin, in which recovery and reuse of the specific raw materials (water, calcium chloride, and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK)), and methanol contained in formalin, are carried out in parallel. Using this closed-system recycle production method, a resorcinol-formalin resin aqueous solution can be obtained, wherein the resin aqueous solution has a reaction product concentration of from 30 to 80%, moderate flowability with a pH of 6 to 10, a calcium chloride concentration of 100 ppm or less, a peak area corresponding to a resorcinol monomer of from 3 to 9% to the entire peak area obtained by gel permeation chromatography analysis, and a peak area corresponding to resorcinol pentanuclear or higher nuclear bodies of from 30 to 55% to the entire peak.

Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide a ketone-modified resorcinol-formalin resin, which has a moderate flowability when transformed into an aqueous solution and has both a reduced content of resorcinol monomer and a reduced content of resorcinol-formalin resin of resorcinol pentanuclear or higher nuclear bodies. The invention relates to a ketone-modified resorcinol-formalin resin, which is produced by a two-step reaction and wherein a peak area corresponding resorcinol monomer is 3 to 9% and a peak area corresponding to resorcinol pentanuclear and higher nuclear bodies is 30 to 55% relative to the total peak area obtained by gel permeation chromatographic analysis of the resorcinol-formalin resin.

Abstract: A process for producing a resorcinol-formalin resin containing no salts, having a moderate flowability when transformed into an aqueous solution, and having a reduced content of resorcinol monomer and a reduced content of resorcinol-formalin resin of resorcinol pentanuclear or higher nuclear bodies, the whole steps including an one-stage reaction and liquid-liquid distribution being conducted in the same reactor, which comprises adding resorcinol, an inorganic salt, and an organic solvent having a solubility parameter of 7.0 to 12.

Abstract: Recovery and reuse method of the specific raw materials (MEK, methanol and calcium chloride) used in the production of an MEK-modified resorcinol-formalin resin is provided. Furthermore, it is an object to stabilize quality by controlling a calcium chloride concentration in the MEK-modified resin to 100 ppm or less by partially improving the production steps. In a water solvent, resorcinol, a recovered calcium chloride aqueous solution, and a recovered MEK are added and stirred to form a two-phase system, and after adding a hydrochloric acid catalyst, formalin is added dropwise to the reaction system to allow a liquid-liquid heterogeneous reaction to proceed. It is allowed to stand to separate into two layers, and after removing an aqueous layer (0), water is added to an MEK layer (0) to sufficiently wash with water. It is allowed to stand to separate into two layers, and the aqueous layer (1) is removed.

Abstract: A process for preparing a resorcinol copolymer, comprising at least one specific phenol with formaldehyde at a certain mole ratio to obtain a resol-type precondensate containing 1 to 30% of residual unreacted formaldehyde and then adding said resol-type precondensate to a mixture of an acid catalyst and at least one resorcinol to effect co-condensation. The obtained copolymer is useful for an adhesive for polyester fiber and rubber.
