Abstract: Disclosed are curing compositions for resin systems and in particular for phenolic resin systems and epoxy resin systems, to methods of preparing the curing compositions and to resin systems incorporating same. The curing compositions of the invention are the reaction product of an aldehyde with an amine in the presence of an aprotic solvent.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for forming condensates and resin compositions are provided. In one embodiment, a condensate is formed from a reaction mixture including a triazine monomer, an arylhydroxy monomer, an aldehyde monomer and an acid catalyst having a pKa value of greater than 3.8. The condensates contain up to 28 wt. % of nitrogen and have a melt viscosity of 3,000 cps or less at 175° C. The condensates may have a solubility of at least 80 wt. % solids dissolved in an organic solvent for 120 hours or greater. Also disclosed are methods for the manufacture of the condensate as well as the condensate's use in fire-retardant epoxy resin compositions suitable for the manufacture of laminates for electronic applications. There is also disclosed a glycidylated triazine-arylhydroxy-aldehyde condensate of this invention.
