Abstract: Resin compositions having a reduced solubility and methods for making and using same are provided. In at least one specific embodiment, the resin composition can include a phenolic resin, a latent acid, a catalyst, and a liquid medium. The catalyst can be a base compound and can be present in an amount of about 2 wt % to about 7 wt %, based on the combined weight of the phenolic resin, the latent acid, the catalyst, and the liquid medium.

Abstract: Resin systems and methods for making and using same are provided. The resin system can include a first aqueous resin comprising at least two polymerized monomers and a second aqueous resin comprising at least two polymerized monomers. The first aqueous resin can be present in an amount of about 5 wt % to about 95 wt %, based on the total weight the resin system. The second aqueous resin can be present in an amount of about 5 wt % to about 95 wt %, based on the total weight the resin system. The at least two polymerized monomers of the first and second aqueous resins can be the same monomers.
