A process for preparing an alkoxy-modified phenolic resole resin useful as the polyhydroxy component of a urethane binder composition. A phenol is reacted with a molar excess of an aldehyde in the presence of an alkaline catalyst and the resulting product is further reacted with a monohydric aliphatic alcohol under acidic conditions.

Process for preparing alkoxy-modified phenolic resole resins

A foundry binder composition which provides foundry cores and molds of superior hot strength comprises a polyisocyanate, a polyhydroxy component and a catalyst. The polyhydroxy component is an alkoxy modified phenolic resole resin containing at least one alkoxy methylene group for every six phenolic nuclei in the resin.
