Abstract: A process for producing rosin resins comprising reacting together rosin and phenolic compound and/or terpene-phenol resin, in the presence of a Brønsted acid. These resins may be used as tackifiers in adhesive formulations, including chloroprene contact cements.
Abstract: Disclosed is a damping material, which contains from 3 to 30% by weight of a thermoplastic elastomer containing at least two polymer blocks along with a bitumen and which has a dynamic loss tangent (tan .delta.) of being 0.5 or more in 10% deformation under the condition of 25.degree. C. and 1 Hz.
Abstract: Epoxy-modified hydrocarbon resins of this invention are prepared by copolymerizing hydrocarbon olefins mainly consisting of aromatic olefins such as indene, styrene, and coumarone with phenols and epoxidizing the copolymers with epichlorohydrin and are useful as modifiers and base polymers for coatings, adhesives, rubbers, and IC encapsulants and also as raw materials for the compatibilizers for incompatible polymer systems because of their capability of undergoing crosslinking or grafting reactions with polymers having functional groups or chemical compositions reactive with the epoxy groups.
Abstract: The present invention relates to an adhesive composition for manufacturing glued laminated beams and wood constructions. One component of the adhesive composition is resorcinol-phenol resin. Resorcinol-phenol adhesives are as such known in the prior art. The main ingredients of these adhesives are resorcinol, formaldehyde and phenol. Among the drawbacks in the use and production of resorcinol-phenol adhesives are their high price and the fact that the raw materials are difficult to obtain. The purpose for employing the adhesive composition of the invention is to eliminate some of the difficulties connected with the availability of the raw materials, particularly resorcinol, and to help produce a new, more economical resorcinol-phenol based adhesive composition.
Abstract: Additives to tall oil pitch react to cause crosslinking which improves hardness, viscosity, tackiness, etc., properties of the modified pitch. Additives include for example maleic anhydride, wood flour, formylated melamine, phenol and other resins, diisocyanates, alcohols and the like. The modified pitch has properties improved for use as binders for briquetting adhesives, etc.
