Abstract: Non-gelled polymeric polyols are prepared by the acid catalyzed copolymerization of epoxy resins and water. When the starting resin is an epoxy resin derived from bisphenol-A, the resulting product has much lower levels of bisphenol-A and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) compared to traditional epoxy resins of comparable molecular weight prepared by the advancement process. The product can be cured with OH reactive crosslinkers such as amino resins and polyisocyanates to yield thermosetting coatings with useful properties.

Abstract: Infinitely water soluble, storage stable, low molecular weight, amine-modified resins/binders (e.g., phenol-formaldehyde resole resins and binders made therefrom) are used to produce low odor fiberglass products, such as fiberglass insulation for automobile headliners and room dividers. The cured, bonded fiberglass products have low TMA (trimethylamine) emission because the free formaldehyde in the resin has been scavenged with melamine, which resists thermal decomposition, and because the binder contains a relatively low urea content, which is a TMA contributor. The resole resin production process includes adding two different formaldehyde scavengers (e.g., melamine and urea) to produce a modified phenol-formaldehyde resole resin. This resole resin is produced into a binder by mixing with water, optionally in the presence of a latent acid catalyst (e.g., an ammonium salt of a strong acid).

Abstract: Inversion carbon blacks and a method for their manufacture are disclosed. The inversion carbon blacks have a lower rolling resistance with identical or improved wet skid behavior. The particle size distribution contains a smaller proportion of particles with large diameters. This leads to an improved abrasion behavior of rubber compounds which were prepared using these carbon blacks. The inversion carbon blacks can be manufactured in conventional carbon black reactors by controlling the combustion in the combustion chamber in such a manner that carbon black nuclei form, which are immediately brought into contact with the carbon black raw material. The carbon blacks present a lower proportion of larger particles if the additions of combustion air and carbon black raw material are increased in an appropriate manner.

Abstract: Compositions containing an aryl phosphite and water to hydrolyze the aryl phosphite provide controlled and extended work time when used as hardening agents for the ambient temperature hardening of phenolic resins and for rapid hardening of such resins at modestly elevated temperatures. Pre-solvolysis with small quantities of water, alkanols of 1 to 4 carbon atoms or alkylene glycols of 2 to 4 carbon atoms improve compatibility of trisubstituted phosphites with the resin. Pre-hydrolysis of the phosphites as well as addition of furfuryl alcohol or alkylene glycols of 2 to 4 carbon atoms accelerate the hardening (curing) of the resin. Various compounds such as: carboxylic acid amides, urea, dicyandiamide, N-methylolated amides, N-alkyl 2-pyrrolidinones having 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, those having an internal epoxide group, alkanols, and Schiff bases retard the ambient temperature hardening of the resin with the aryl phosphite hardening agents.
