Abstract
Hydroxyphenylstearic acid, prepared by addition of phenol to oleic acid, has been condensed with excess formaldehyde using acidic and alkaline catalysts. The resulting resins have mol wt corresponding to 2–3 phenolic units and are readily soluble in alcohols. Films cast from these solutions are soft even after baking at 205C. In order to achieve greater hardness, solutions of the phenol-formaldehyde resins were coreacted with a solution of a commercial epoxy resin. Baked films cast from these systems were hard, flexible and chemically resistant.
