Abstract
The present invention relates to polymer compositions and to a process of producing phenolic novolak resins having a high phosphorus content. It is known that phenolic novolak resins may be reacted with P.sub.2 O.sub.5. However, it has now been found that if the novolak has substantially entirely ortho-ortho linkage the amount of phosphorus, suitably in the form of P.sub.2 O.sub.5, P.sub.2 S.sub.5, P.sub.2 O.sub.3 or mixtures thereof, that may be reacted is greatly increased and the polymer produced has enhanced fire-retardant properties. The present polymers have a wide utility in the production of flame-retardant molding compositions and laminates.
