A carbohydrate-phenolic resol resin and a process for production of same wherein an aldose saccharide, preferably a hexose, is reacted with a phenolic compound and urea in the presence of an acid catalyst to form a liquid fusible resin which is reacted with a lower aliphatic aldehyde in the presence of a basic catalyst to form said resol resin.

Carbohydrate-based condensation resin

A carbohydrate-phenolic resin and a process for production of same wherein an aldose saccharide, preferably a hexose, is reacted with a phenolic compound and urea in the presence of an acid catalyst to form a solid fusible resin which is curable with cross linking agents, such as hexamethylenetetramine. Instead of urea, use can also be made of diamines, such as toluene diamines and alkylene diamines.

A process for the production of carbohydrate-phenolic resins wherein a phenolic compound is reacted with a hexose saccharide in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst to form a solid fusible resin which is curable with cross linking agents, such as hexamethylenetetramine.
