Abstract
Epoxy resins low in aliphatic halogen are prepared by reacting a polyhydric phenol with an excess of an epihalohydrin in the presence of a secondary alcohol and an aqueous solution of an alkali metal hydroxide until from 45 to <70 percent of the phenolic hydroxyl groups have reacted; removing unreacted polyhydric phenol therefrom until less than 4% total phenolic hydroxyl remains in the reaction product; dehydrohalogenating the resultant intermediate product and recovering the epoxy resin therefrom.
