  • Patent number: 6706845
    Abstract: Phenol formaldehyde resins that have low free formaldehyde when produced, that maintain their low free formaldehyde levels during storage, and that demonstrate low levels of formaldehyde emissions during processing, curing, and thereafter.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6706809
    Abstract: Infinitely water soluble, storage stable, low molecular weight, amine-modified resins/binders (e.g., phenol-formaldehyde resole resins and binders made therefrom) are used to produce low odor fiberglass products, such as fiberglass insulation for automobile headliners and room dividers. The cured, bonded fiberglass products have low TMA (trimethylamine) emission because the free formaldehyde in the resin has been scavenged with melamine, which resists thermal decomposition, and because the binder contains a relatively low urea content, which is a TMA contributor. The resole resin production process includes adding two different formaldehyde scavengers (e.g., melamine and urea) to produce a modified phenol-formaldehyde resole resin. This resole resin is produced into a binder by mixing with water, optionally in the presence of a latent acid catalyst (e.g., an ammonium salt of a strong acid).

  • Patent number: 6432254
    Abstract: A method for making a consolidated wood product comprising coating wood components with a B-stageable, phenol-formaldehyde resole resin; heating the coated wood components to about 80 to 140° C. for a time sufficient to advance the resin to a B-stage; forming a mat or stack of the wood components coated with the B-stage resin; exposing the mat or stack of coated wood components to a saturated or superheated steam atmosphere in a hot press; and compressing the layup to form the consolidated wood product. The phenol-formaldehyde resole resin used in the method has a number average molecular weight of between about 200 and 600, has a F:P mole ratio of about 1.3:1 to 2.0:1, and has been modified with 0 to about 5.5 wt % of caustic based on resin solids.

  • Patent number: 4048125
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an anti-migratory (as respects impregnated porous sheet members) phenol-formaldehyde resole resin in water emulsions. The emulsion is rendered anti-migratory (when impregnated into paper) through the addition thereto of an anti-migratory agent selected from the group consisting of polyelectrolytes, certain salts of inorganic acids, and combinations thereof.
