Abstract
The surfactants of this invention are phenolic-formaldehyde resins that have been sulfomethylated with from 1-13 moles of sulfomethylation per 1000 grams of the starting resin and further modified by reaction with up to 20 moles, preferably 0.25 to 10 moles, per 1000 grams of starting resin of a blocking agent of the type X(CHR).sub.m (CH.sub.2).sub.n Y, wherein X is a halogen, an activated double bond, epoxy ring or halohydrin, Y is a property group such as sulfonate, phosphonate, carboxylate or hydroxyl, R is another property group such as hydrogen, hydroxyl, mercaptan or amine, and n and m are integers from 0 to 5, with n or m being at least 1, to at least partially block the phenolic hydroxyl group of the resin. The phenolic-formaldehyde resin may also be cross-linked to tailor its molecular weight and then treated with urea or ammonia, if desired.
