  • Reactive phenolic resin modifier
    Patent number: 5866642
    Abstract: A low molecular weight lignin fraction having a pre-selected molecular weight range prepared from lignin solution by ultrafiltration. The invention also relates to phenol-formaldehyde resin modified by the lignin fraction, adhesive comprising the modified resin, and a method for producing the lignin fraction and the resin.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 19, 1993
    Date of Patent: February 2, 1999
    Assignee: Georgia-Pacific Resins, Inc.
    Inventors: Ted M. McVay, Gene F. Baxter, Frederick C. Dupre, Jr.
  • Phenolic resin containing a latent hardening agent comprising the carbamate reaction product of a cyclic
    Patent number: 4977231
    Abstract: Carbamate curing agents for phenol-aldehyde resins provide a delayed curing period for product assembly. Thereafter, the resin cures quickly even at low temperatures.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 13, 1989
    Date of Patent: December 11, 1990
    Assignee: Georgia-Pacific Corporation
    Inventors: Ted M. McVay, Gene F. Baxter
  • Wood adhesives modified with surface active agents
    Patent number: 4968771
    Abstract: The present invention provides an improved adhesive composition for wood gluing, comprising a formaldehyde condensation resin and a minor amount of a surface active agent. This invention further provides a method for manufacture of composite wood products comprising applying an adhesive composition, which includes a formaldehyde condensation resin and a small amount of a surface active agent, to the wood and curing the adhesive.

  • Rapid curing adhesive compositions comprising the reaction product of a ketone aldehyde condensation polymer and a primary aromatic amine
    Patent number: 3931110
    Abstract: This invention describes resin products having particular utility as rapid curing adhesives for wood and other materials, and processes for making the resin compositions. The reaction products are made by reacting an aldehyde condensation polymer, such as a phenol-formaldehyde condensation polymer, with a primary aromatic amine having the formula: ##SPC1##WhereX.sub.1 is --NH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 NH.sub.2 ;X.sub.2 is --X.sub.1 --OH--alkoxy;X.sub.3 is -X.sub.1 COOH NHCOCH.sub.3 NO.sub.2 OH C.sub.1 to C.sub.5 alkyl H -halogen halogenated alkyl alkoxyX.sub.4 is C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl, --H--aryl; andA is ##EQU1## where Y.sub.1 and Y.sub.2 are hydrogen or alkyl radicals having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms and Z is an integer from 0 to 2,--SO.sub.2 ----NH----O----S---- C----S--S----N=N--, to obtain an amine-modified polymer. On blending an appropriate hardening agent with the amine-modified polymer, the composition cures very rapidly at ambient temperature.
