Production of resins

When the resin temperature drops below the boiling point of the reactive diluent (usually styrene) the resin is pumped into a blending tank containing suitability inhibited diluent. It is common practice to employ a mixture of inhibitors in order to obtain a balance of properties in respect of colour, storage stability and gelation rate of catalysed resin. A typical system based on the above polyester fomulation would be  

The blend is allowed to cool further and the resin is transferred into drums for 

Quality control tests on the resins most commonly employed are for specific gravity, viscosity, colour, clarity and gel time under standard conditions,

Alkylated phenol derivatives are used as raw materials for the production of resins, novolaks (alcohol-soluble resins of the phenol—formaldehyde type), herbicides, insecticides, antioxidants, and other chemicals. The synthesis of 2,6-xylenol [576-26-1] h.a.s become commercially important since PPO resin, poly(2,6-dimethyl phenylene oxide), an engineering thermoplastic, was developed (114,115). The demand for (9-cresol and 2,6-xylenol (2,6-dimethylphenol) increased further in the 1980s along with the growing use of epoxy cresol novolak (ECN) in the electronics industries and poly(phenylene ether) resin in the automobile industries. The ECN is derived from o-cresol, and poly(phenylene ether) resin is derived from 2,6-xylenol. 

Other Derivatives and Applications. Copolymerization of DCPD with other unsaturated substances has received wide attention, and several useful appHcations have been developed. With drying oils (qv) thermal copolymerization leads to the production of resinous products, the so-called bodied oils, that give improved drying and result in paint and varnish coatings of greater resistance to weathering. 

In 1935 Henkel patented the production of resins based on melamine. Today these resins are important in the manufacture of decorative laminates and in tableware. 

Melamine (I,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-triazine) was first prepared by Liebig in 1835. For a hundred years the material remained no more than a laboratory curiosity until Henkel patented the production of resins by condensation with formaldehyde. Today large quantities of melamine-formaldehyde resins are used in the manufacture of moulding compositions, laminates, adhesives, surface coatings and other applications. Although in many respects superior in properties to the urea-based resins they are also significantly more expensive. 

The postulated and sufficiently proven notion that asphaltenes are oxidation products of resins and that resins are oxidation products of oil (11) sort of makes the probability of finding oils whose actual resin concentration is less than their critical resin concentration small. In other... 

The results obtained with sample 1485 in theses SPME conditions are given Table 10.1, column 12. They are very similar to those obtained at ambient temperature but less volatile compounds, eluted after a-cedrol, could be observed. Except for the polychlorinated compound (84) of unknown origin, they are degradation products of resin acids resulting from ageing and their presence, even in small amounts, is indicative of a conifer resin.

Plastomers. The production of resins (polyfvinyl chloride], polystyrene, and poly [styrene-co-acrylonitrile]) with relatively high toughness has been one of the most important aims of industry. This can be achieved by modifying a rigid chain with small amounts of elastomers. The best results have been obtained by the use of block and graft copolymers. 

Glycerol. Another synthetic product that is derived from propylene for the production of resins is glycerol. Synthetic production of this material, which started in 1948 at the Houston, Tex., plant of Shell Development Co., culminated a long research program by E. C. Williams and coworkers (45) in which the process was developed through a complex series of reactions starting with the chlorination of propylene (7). The Houston plant has a reported capacity of 36,000,000 pounds per year, which is equivalent to 20% of the prewar production of glycerol (8). 

Chemical injections into pine trees have been reported to have stimulatory effects on the natural production of resins and terpenes and may result in high yields of these valuable chemicals. Combined oleoresin—timber production in mixed stands of pine and timber trees is under development, and it appears that when short-rotation forestry is used, the yields of energy products and timber can be substantially higher than the yields from separate operations. 

As common examples of monomers used for the production of resins, methacrylate and styrene can be mentioned, where the cross-linkers are ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA) or divinyl benzene (DVB), respectively [205], The most important resins of this type are the poly(styrene-divinyl benzene) type or Amberlite resins, as well as the Wofatit and Lewatit [192] types. These materials have been widely applied as adsorbents [191,192,207] and as ion exchangers [193,194,208],...

Oleoresins are natural products of resin mixed with volatile oils. 

Today formaldehyde finds widespread use in the hardening of gelatin, preservation of food, disinfection, tanning of leather and, most important, in the production of resins by condensation with phenol (bakelite) and in the synthetic organic chemical industry. 

Attempts have been made to utilize the tendency of phenol to polymerize in the presence of oxygen and caustic for the production of resins. Thus, 200 grams of phenol in six times the amount of 2.5 normal soda lye necessary to dissolve it, is heated for 2 hours at 200° C. under 40 atmospheres pressure and in the presence of air.10 The air is passed through the solution and then through a cooler also under pressure. The blood red solution obtained in this way is acidified to yield resins and colors. 

There are a number of ways in which plants and animals use terpenoid chemicals to protect themselves. Probably the two commonest methods are the production of resins by plants which have been damaged and the production of materials which will render a plant or animal unattractive to predators. 

MAJOR USES Used in the production of resins, varnishes, perfumes, inks, paint removers, herbicides, whitening agents, artificial sweeteners solvent.
