Patent number: 4501836Abstract: A polymeric binder composition for refractory aggregates is disclosed. The binder is a resole type phenolic resin, solvent and a tar, pitch or mixtures thereof. The solvent has a boiling point of greater than 75.degree. C. and is added to the resole type phenolic resin to impart a viscosity range of between 1 to 1000 poise. The tar/pitch component is combined in the solvent-resin mixture, and is incorporated within the ratios of 30:70 to 70:30 with relation to the phenolic resin. The binder results in a high carbon binder.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 1983Date of Patent: February 26, 1985Assignee: Sumitomo Durez Company, Ltd.Inventors: Masayuki Nakamura, Masaaki Tsuriya, Masahiko Funabashi

Patent number: RE34228Abstract: Modified benzylic ether resole resins and process for their preparation. The resins are prepared by treating a phenol with a molar excess of aldehyde in the presence of a divalent metal ion catalyst at a pH below 7 followed by further reaction at a pH above 8 in the presence of an alkaline catalyst. Alkaline solutions of the resins are used as foundry binders in an ester cure process.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 1992Date of Patent: April 20, 1993Assignee: Acme Resin Corp.Inventors: David R. Armbruster, Merlyn C. Pasion
