  • Patent number: 6894096
    Abstract: A resin varnish for printing ink is produced by condensing phenol and formaldehyde in an ink solvent to obtain an ink solvent solution of resole initial condensate, after which the resole initial condensate and a rosin ester containing 30-60 wt % non-aromatic conjugate resin acid and 20-60 wt % aromatic resin acid are reacted at 100-250° C. in a system containing ink solvent or in a system containing ink solvent and drying oil. A high-viscosity, high-molecular-weight ink resin is produced efficiently by reacting, with resole initial condensate in ink solvent, a rosin ester containing specified contents by percentage of conjugate acid and aromatic resin acid. The resin varnish obtained has very few decomposition components and nonuniformly gelled components, so it also is suitable for screen printing ink and letterpress printing ink, in addition to offset printing ink.

  • Patent number: 5907007
    Abstract: A non-washing soldering flux which is capable of minimizing corrosion and insulation defects due to precipitation of metal salts and cracking of the base resin is disclosed. The flux includes an activator including a dibasic acid with a molecular weight of 250 or less, and a monobasic acid with a molecular weight of from 150 to 300 and/or a dibasic acid with a molecular weight of from 300 to 600. The dibasic acid of molecular weight 250 or less in the flux exhibits sufficient activity, thus ensuring satisfactory solderability. The monobasic acid of molecular weight from 150 to 300 and the dibasic acid of molecular weight from 300 to 600 which are combined therewith promote the activity while also uniformly dispersing the metal salt of the low molecular weight dibasic acid in the flux residue, allowing it to be enveloped by the hydrophobic base resin. For greater cracking resistance, the flux includes at least an acrylic resin of molecular weight 10,000 or less and an activator.
