Patent number: 5130072Abstract: In the process for the production of a molded body having a pressed core of solid inert particles which are coated with a thermoset phenolic resin, phenolic compounds on a basis of bisphenol, in particular a bis(hydroxyphenyl)alkane, and at least one compound which produces formaldehyde, and also a catalyst and optionally further additives customarily employed in the preparation of phenolic resins are mixed together with the inert particles. The mixture of particles obtained, preferably after precompressing and preforming, is pressed to form the molded body. During pressing under the action of heat formaldehyde is set free and the phenolic resin is completely cross-linked.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 1990Date of Patent: July 14, 1992Assignee: Hoechst AktiengesellschaftInventors: Martin H. A. Hemels, Geert W. Schuren, Louis G. M. Driessen

Patent number: 5087314Abstract: An electrically conductive epoxy-based adhesive. The epoxy is selected from the amine curing modified epoxy family consisting of a resin that is a combination of polyglycidylaminophenyl resin and polygylcidylether of phenylformaldehyde novalac resin family, and a catalyst that is a combination of one member from the aliphatic amide family plus one member from the aliphatic polyamine family. In one embodiment includes 17 parts by weight of the resin and 10 parts by weight of the catalyst. 73 parts by weight of a mixture of properly shaped silver flake particles are added. The resulting adhesive is curable at room temperature to provide a high-temperature, high-strength, electrically conductive adhesive.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 1989Date of Patent: February 11, 1992Assignee: Harris CorporationInventors: James A. Sandborn, Bobby J. Boan

Patent number: 5074946Abstract: It has now been found that when there is a partial or complete replacement of the sodium hydroxide that is used to make a sodium phenolate resole resin by a molar equivalent of potassium hydroxide, a far faster curing resin is obtained. Such potassium-modified phenolic resins exhibit significant improvement in cure speed without loss of flowability. To the contrary, these resins act as though they were lower molecular weight condensation products. Reduced application rates are possible. The combination of faster cure and lower application rates has allowed such resins to be used as effective adhesives for plywood, for example, with veneer and interior plies having a higher moisture content than was previously possible. Generally, resins according to the invention may contain from about 1% to about 14%, and preferably from about 1% to about 7% by weight, of potassium hydroxide, or more.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 1988Date of Patent: December 24, 1991Assignee: Borden, Inc.Inventor: Nick K.

Patent number: 5057591Abstract: The invention is a solution of highly advanced phenolic resin with improved inherent foamability that is made from the reaction of phenol, aldehyde, water and alkali the improved foamability being brought about by the incorporation of up to 1.0% by weight, anhydrous basis, lime (calcium hydroxide) into the early stages of the reaction mix. In another embodiment, the invention is a plywood glue composition comprising a solution of lime-containing highly advanced phenolic resin, dried animal blood and preferably an aldehyde glue viscosity-lowering agent.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 1988Date of Patent: October 15, 1991Assignee: Borden, Inc.Inventors: William D. Detlefsen, Lewis D. Creel, Lee R. Johnson

Patent number: 5047275Abstract: A pre-cure resistant powder resin binder for waferboard/oriented strandboard manufacture is manufactured from spray drying a liquid resin composition containing a low advanced phenol-formaldehyde resin and a water soluble oxo compound of boron. The spray dryability of the low molecular weight phenol-formaldehyde resin is enhanced by the addition of the oxo boron compound.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 1991Date of Patent: September 10, 1991Assignee: Borden, Inc.Inventor: Shui-Tung Chiu

Patent number: 5028286Abstract: Disclosed is a method of making a dimensionally stable composite board product made from a mixture of particles of a cellulose material and binder and a composite board so produced by such method. Dimensional stability is in reference to the resistance to thickness swelling when the board is subjected to high humidity or moisture conditions. The method and composite board displaying the attribute of improved dimensional stability involves subjecting the particles of cellulosic material to a pressurized steam treatment and then making the composite board under heat and pressure. When compared to conventional composite board that has not been subjected to the pretreatment, the difference in thickness swelling is significant.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 1989Date of Patent: July 2, 1991Inventor: Wu-Hsiung E. Hsu

Patent number: 4994222Abstract: A vulcanized rubber-synthetic resin composite structure is produced by injecting a molten synthetic resin into a mold in which a vulcanized rubber molding has been disposed. For improvement the surface of the vulcanized rubber molding which comes into contact with the synthetic resin is chrominated, and on the chlorinated surface a curable adhesive layer composed mainly of resol-type phenolic resin and aldehyde-modified polyvinyl alcohol is formed. Alternatively a curable adhesive layer composed mainly of chlorosulfonated polyethylene is formed the surface of the vulcanized rubber molding which comes into contact with the synthetic resin, to which the molten synthetic resin is injected while keeping the vulcanized rubber molding heated.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 1989Date of Patent: February 19, 1991Assignee: Bridgestone CorporationInventors: Shingo Iizumi, Kazuya Takano
