Resin compositions having a reduced solubility and methods for making and using same are provided. In at least one specific embodiment, the resin composition can include a phenolic resin, a latent acid, a catalyst, and a liquid medium. The catalyst can be a base compound and can be present in an amount of about 2 wt % to about 7 wt %, based on the combined weight of the phenolic resin, the latent acid, the catalyst, and the liquid medium.

Methods for reducing the solubility of phenolic resins using latent acids

Adhesive compositions having a reduced cure time and methods for making and using same are provided. In at least one specific embodiment, the adhesive composition can include a mixture of one or more phenolic-aldehyde resins and one or more cure accelerants. The one or more cure accelerants can be selected from the group consisting of: ammonia, ammonium hydroxide, one or more primary amines, one or more secondary amines, one or more tertiary amines, one or more alkanolamines, one or more aromatic amines, one or more polyamines, one or more amides, one or more polyamides, one or more compounds containing at least one amine functional group and at least one sulfur functional group, and any mixture thereof. In one or more embodiments, the adhesive composition can also include one or more hardeners.
