Description
WO 00/64669 PCTUSOO/08994 PHENOL-NOVOLACS WITH IMPROVED OPTICAL PROPERTIES This application is a continuation-in-part of my U.S. Patent Application Ser. No. 09/158,584 which was filed on Sept. 22, 1998. 5 This invention relates to phenolic-glyoxal condensates, glycidylated derivatives thereof, compositions containing the condensates and their glycidylated derivatives, laminates of reinforcing fibers in a resin matrix containing epoxidized phenol-glyoxal condensation products or residues of such products, as well as methods for manufacture of the foregoing. 10 In the methods for making the condensates of this invention, a molar excess of phenol is reacted with glyoxal at a temperature of about 800 C to 1000 C using an acid catalyst which can be removed from the reaction mixture by distillation at a temperature below that of about 170 0 C. 15 The reaction is conducted by making continuous or at least two additions of glyoxal to a phenol wherein the total molar ratio for all additions of glyoxal to phenol is about 0.15 to 0.22. Water in the reaction mixture is removed incrementally by distillation during the reaction. 20 Less than about 70% of the total glyoxal to be reacted with the phenol is added to the reaction mixture at any one time. Also, less than about 70% of the total aldehyde units to be supplied to the reaction mixture together with any ketone units formed in the reaction are present in the reaction mixture at any one time. Each glyoxal molecule contains two aldehyde units. A way for 25 measuring the aldehyde units together with any ketone units formed is by determining aldehyde equivalents, as later defined. The aldehyde equivalents in the reaction mixture are maintained at less than about 70% of the aldehyde equivalents in the total quantity of glyoxal to be charged to the reaction mixture for making the condensation product. The catalyst is removed from the reaction 30 mixture when at least about 85% of the aldehyde equivalents or aldehyde units in the total quantity of glyoxal to be charged to the reaction mixture for making the condensation product have reacted. Removal of the catalyst also eliminates WO 00/64669 PCTUSOO/08994 2 all or a portion of the water in the reaction mixture. After about 85% of the said aldehyde equivalents have reacted and prior to removal of the catalyst, in those cases where trichloroacetic acid is the catalyst, a sufficient quantity of a basic material is added to the reaction mixture to neutralize HCI to be liberated by the 5 trichloroacetic acid. After removal of the catalyst, the reaction mixture is heated at a temperature of from about 1750 C to 2000 C for about 0.25 hours to 3 hours. Also, after removal of the catalyst, any remaining unreacted phenol as well as water is removed at temperatures above that used for removal of the catalyst. 10 Broadly, the laminates of this invention are prepared by the use of conventional methods and ingredients but with the use of small quantities of the phenol-glyoxal condensates or reaction products thereof such as , glycidylated, or epoxidized derivatives as part of the resinous matrix in which fibers are embedded. 15 BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART Polyphenols, such as polyphenols prepared from the condensation of glyoxal and a molar excess of phenol in the presence of an acid catalyst, find utility in the same manner as other polyphenols and particularly for preparing 20 epoxidized polyphenols which can be used for coatings and electronic applications as well as adhesives and laminates such as in the production of printed circuit boards. The polyphenols of this invention will typically contain from about 1% to 25 about 6% of the tetraphenols of ethane. When the phenol is phenol itself, the tetraphenol is tetrakis(p-hydroxyphenyl) ethane which is also referred to as TPE. Although the reaction products of the phenol-glyoxal reaction are mixtures, individual polyphenols such as TPE as well as other components thereof can be crystallized out of solution by conventional techniques. Thus, the level of 30 tetraphenol ethanes, such as TPE in the phenol-glyoxal condensation products, can be greatly reduced to essentially zero by methods well known in the art without sacrifice of desirable optical properties provided by this invention.
WO 00/64669 PCTIUSOO/08994 3 Illustratively, use of solvents such as alcohol-aromatic hydrocarbon mixtures and water miscible ketone-water mixtures are effective in this regard. The compositions of this invention are particularly useful when automatic 5 optical inspection (AOI) is used for quality control of laminates. The polyphenols of this invention alone, or in blends with phenolic novolacs, or after epoxidation of the polyphenols, are useful for AOl as are adducts with epoxy resins and adducts of epoxidized phenolic-glyoxal condensates with phenolic novolacs. The AOI is typically performed by measuring: fluorescence at wavelengths in the 10 range of about 450 nm (nanometers) to about 650 nm, particularly at an excitation wavelength of about 442 nm; and/or ultraviolet (UV) light absorbance in the wavelengths of from about 350 to 365 nm. Applicant has found a set of process conditions together with monomers 15 and certain catalysts for obtaining polyphenols and epoxidized derivatives thereof having UV absorbance and/or fluorescence which is substantially higher than phenol-glyoxal condensates prepared by other methods within the wavelengths generally used for AOI quality control. Photoimageable materials are used in conjunction with these condensates. High UV absorbance is 20 desirable for the manufacture of laminates used in electronic applications such as high density multilayer printed circuit boards. Advantages of this invention include: (a) preparation of an essentially metal ion-free polyphenol without recourse to catalyst filtration or neutralization and water washing steps wherein recovery of phenol is simplified and the 25 reactor yield is increased in those cases where the catalyst is not neutralized with a metal ion; (b) preparation of polyphenols as well as the epoxidized derivatives thereof which exhibit improved optical properties, e.g., high fluorescence and/or UV absorbance in the wavelengths used for AOl; and (c) preparation of polyphenols with increased solubility in organic solvents. 30 The prior art discloses many methods for making polyphenols and epoxidized derivatives thereof. But the prior art does not use the combination of WO 00/64669 PCTIUSOO/08994 4 monomers, reaction conditions, or catalyst which applicant uses for obtaining the desirable properties of the products of this invention. Also, the prior art does not disclose phenol-glyoxal condensates having the desirable optical properties of this invention. 5 As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings: (a) "phenol-glyoxal condensation product" shall refer to the phenol glyoxal reaction product produced by the method of this invention wherein such condensate contains less than 5% of unreacted phenol, preferably less than 3% 10 of unreacted phenol and particularly less than 1.5% of unreacted phenol. (b) "aldehyde equivalents" is a method for measuring aldehyde units and shall refer to aldehyde and any ketone units which may be formed in the reaction mixture or in the glyoxal charged or to be charged when measured by the below described method. Such measurements are generally reported in 15 percent of aldehyde equivalents reacted in comparison with the aldehyde equivalents charged or to be charged to the reaction mixture. Thus, if measurements of aldehyde equivalents in a mixture of the glyoxal and phenol charged show X aldehyde equivalents and measurements after reaction in the reaction mixture later show aldehyde equivalents of % of X, then the aldehyde 20 equivalents in the reaction mixture are 50% of that charged. During the reaction, some ketone groups may also be formed which are included in measuring of the aldehyde equivalents and are considered as part of the aldehyde equivalents herein. 25 The method for determining aldehyde equivalents is by taking 1.0 gram of reaction mixture and diluting it with 50 ml of methanol. The pH is then adjusted to 3.5 with dilute sodium hydroxide. There is then added, to the pH adjusted sample, 25 ml of 10% hydroxylamine hydrochloride with stirring. The sample is stirred for 10 minutes and then the sample is back titrated with 0.25 Normal (N) 30 sodium hydroxide to pH of 3.5. The number of milliliters (mis) (the titre) of the sodium hydroxide solution used to back titrate the sample to a pH of 3.5 is used to calculate the aldehyde equivalents. The mis of sodium hydroxide solution in WO 00/64669 PCTUSOO/08994 5 the titre is adjusted by correcting by titration with sodium hydroxide for the methanol and hydroxylamine hydrochloride reagents used in the test and this is referred to as the mIs blank. 5 The aldehyde equivalents for the sample are then determined by the following formula: (2.9 times 0.25 N times (mis sodium hydroxide titre minus the mis of the sodium hydroxide in titrating the blank). The value obtained by this formula is then compared to the aldehyde equivalents obtained by the above method and formula based on one gram of an unheated, catalyst free mixture of 10 phenol and glyoxal in the weight ratio of glyoxal to phenol used until that time or the time in question in order to determine the percent aldehyde equivalents reacted. Unless otherwise indicated, the fluorescence measurements herein are 15 as the maximum counts per second for a 0.05% solution of the material in question dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (THF) at an excitation wave length of 442 nm for an acquisition time of one second with a CM 1000 instrument when measured within the range of about 450 to 650 nm. CM 1000 refers to Cure Monitor 1000 which is an instrument made by Spectra Group Ltd., Inc. of 20 Maumee, Ohio. Acquisition time is the exposure time at the designated wavelength. A count is a basic unit used by a large number of light measuring devices for data output and refers to a process of digitization of accumulated signal. In the case of a CCD detector that is used by Spectra Group Limited, Inc. of Maumee, Ohio and which was used for the data set forth herein, light 25 produces an electrical charge on the detector that is subsequently read out by a digitizer. The digitizer is set to record one count for approximately every 10 units of charge (electrons) it reads. The fluorescence measurements are on a comparative basis among the 30 various materials such as in each of the tables set forth herein and not as absolute numbers. Thus, the fluorescence values of polyphenols within any one of the tables set forth later herein are relative to other polyphenols within the WO 00/64669 PCTUSOO/08994 6 same table, but comparisons cannot be made with the same or other polyphenols in other tables. The UV absorbance values are obtained from samples prepared by 5 dissolving the material in question in THF (tetrahydrofuran) at a concentration of 10 mg (milligrams) per 100 ml (milliliters) and the absorbance measurement made at 350 nm or 365 nm. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 10 In one aspect, this invention is directed to a method for preparing a polyphenolic product by incrementally contacting and reacting glyoxal with a molar excess of phenol in the presence of an acidic catalyst which can be removed from the reaction mixture by distillation at temperatures below about 15 170 0 C. A reaction temperature of about 800 C to about 100' C is used for the reaction. Water is removed incrementally from the reaction mixture by distillation while the aldehyde equivalents in the reaction mixture are maintained at less than about 70 percent based on the aldehyde equivalents in the total amount of aldehyde to be charged to the reaction mixture in making the polyphenol. The 20 mole ratio of glyoxal charged to the reaction mixture is from about 0.15 to about 0.22 moles of glyoxal for each mole of phenol. The reaction is terminated by distillation to remove the catalyst when at least about 85% of the aldehyde equivalents in the total quantity of glyoxal to be charged for making the condensation product have reacted. When trichloroacetic acid is the catalyst, a 25 basic material is added to the reaction mixture prior to removal of the catalyst to neutralize any hydrochloric acid which may be released during removal of catalyst. Removal of the catalyst also removes some or all of the water in the reaction mixture. After elimination of the catalyst: (a) free or unreacted phenol is distilled out of the reaction mixture so that the product is free of catalyst and 30 contains less than about 5% of phenol; and (b) the reaction mixture is heated at a temperature of from about above 1750 C to about 2000 C for 0.25 to 3 hours. In another aspect, this invention is directed to a method of preparing a WO 00/64669 PCT/USOO/08994 7 polyphenolic product which comprises: charging and reacting phenol, and about 0.06 to 0.11 moles of a 40% solution of glyoxal in water in the presence of about 2 to 5% of oxalic acid, the moles of glyoxal based on the moles of phenol charged; distilling the reaction mixture a first time to remove about 8% to 12% of 5 distillate after about 1 to 5 hours of reaction time; charging another 0.06 to 0.11 moles of glyoxal based on phenol charged so that the total quantity of glyoxal charged is from about 0.15 to 0.22 moles for each mole of phenol; continuing the reaction for about another 1 to 5 hours from the time the first distillation was commenced, and distilling the reaction mixture a second time to recover about 10 6% to 12% of distillate; and continuing the reaction until at least about 85% of the aldehyde equivalents in the total quantity of glyoxal to be charged for making the condensation product have reacted. The above temperature of phenol reaction with glyoxal, including the distillations, is 800 C to 1000 C. After at least about 85% of the aldehyde equivalents have reacted as discussed above, the 15 temperature is raised and the reaction mixture is distilled at a temperature within the range of about 1300 C to about 1700 C to remove catalyst and water. Unreacted phenol remaining after removal of the catalyst is removed by distillation at temperatures above those used for removal of the catalyst so that the free phenol in the polyphenol condensate is not more than about 5% and the 20 reaction mixture is heated under vacuum at a temperature of about 1750 to 2000 C for about 0.25 to 3 hours to produce the phenol-glyoxal condensation product. In a further aspect, this invention is directed to a method for preparing 25 epoxy resins in the form of glycidyl ethers of the above described polyphenols by epoxidizing the polyphenol with a halohydrin in the presence of an alkali metal hydroxide, e.g., sodium hydroxide. In a still further aspect, this invention is directed to a method for preparing 30 epoxy resins by reacting the phenol-glyoxal condensation product with a preformed epoxy resin to prepare epoxy resin derivatives of the phenol-glyoxal condensation products.
WO 00/64669 PCT/USOO/08994 8 In yet other aspects, this invention is directed to the polyphenols prepared by the methods of this invention and epoxidized products prepared therefrom. In yet further aspects, this invention is directed to compositions containing 5 the phenol-glyoxal condensation products or epoxidized derivatives thereof and compositions with other phenolic novolacs and/or epoxidized derivatives thereof. In another aspect, this invention is directed to cured or uncured reaction products of the phenol-glyoxal condensates such as those prepared by 10 glycidylation, epoxidation, or reaction with a phenol-formaldehyde novolac resin or a glycidiylated or epoxidized derivative of a phenol-glyoxal condensate with the novolac resin as well as laminates of reenforcing fibers or fabrics of such fibers in a resin matrix containing the phenol-glyoxal condensates and reaction products thereof. 15 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIG. I of the drawing is a graph showing fluorescence spectra of various epoxidized products. Letter "A" indicates the fluorescence spectra curve of EPON 1031 (CAS No.: 7328-97-4) which is a commercial epoxy resin of a 20 polyphenol having less than 1% of free phenol which is commercially used for AOl fluorescence in the same wave lengths which are shown in the graph. EPON 1031 is sold by Shell Chemical Co. Letter "B" indicates the fluorescence spectra curve of the epoxidized product of Example 5A of this application wherein the epoxidized product is produced by the same method as shown in 25 Example 8 herein. Letter "C" indicates the fluorescence spectra of the epoxy product of Example 8. It can be seen from FIG. 1 of the drawing that the poly glycidyl ether of the phenol-glyoxal condensation product of this invention has unexpectedly 30 greater fluorescence at an excitation wavelength 442 for an acquisition time of one second when measured within the range of 450 to 650 nm in comparison to the commercial product EPON 1031 as well as the poly glycidyl ether of the WO 00/64669 PCTIUSOO/08994 9 product of Example 5A. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The Phenolic Monomer 5 The phenolic monomer, also referred to simply as a phenol, is a phenol which can be unsubstituted or substituted, e.g., with alkyl, phenyl or alkoxy groups. Typical phenolic monomers are the mononuclear or binuclear, monohydroxyphenols which have at least one ortho or para position available for bonding. 10 The phenolic monomer will typically contain up to about 12 carbon atoms and preferably up to about 8 carbon atoms. Such compounds include: phenol itself; alpha-naphthol; phenylphenol; cresols, e.g., 2-methylphenol and 3 methylphenol; various xylenols, e.g., 2,5-dimethylphenol and 3,5 15 dimethylphenol; and other alkyl phenols; and alkoxyphenols such as 2-methoxy or 3-methoxyphenol. Mixtures of phenolic compounds can be used. A preferred phenolic compound is unsubstituted phenol, i.e., phenol itself. Preferred phenolic monomers can be represented by the following 20 formula: OH C C C R'y C C 25 C wherein R' is selected from phenyl, alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms and alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms and y is an integer of 0 to 3. When R' is alkyl or alkoxy, y is 1 to 3, and when R' is phenyl, y is 1. Mixtures of the phenolic monomers can also be used. 30 The Glyoxal Reactant The glyoxal reactant can be in various forms such as relatively pure WO 00/64669 PCT/USOO/08994 10 monomeric glyoxal, polymerized glyoxal or glyoxal dissolved in water and mixtures thereof. Illustratively, glyoxal is normally used as a 40% solution in water. 5 The Acid Catalyst The acid catalyst is one which can be removed from the reaction mixture by distilling the reaction mixture at a temperature above about 800 C. but below about 1700 C and preferably below about 1600 C. Illustratively, the catalyst can be oxalic acid or a trihaloacetic acid or mixtures thereof. 10 In the case of oxalic acid as catalyst, the temperature of the reaction mixture is raised above about 1300 C such as up to about 1700 C together with distillation and preferably the temperature is raised to about 1400 C to about 1600 C so that the oxalic acid catalyst is decomposed to volatile components. 15 Oxalic acid can be used in its various forms such as the pure compound, the dihydrate, or mixtures thereof, all of which are referred to as oxalic acid herein. 20 Illustrative of the trihaloacetic acid catalyst there can be mentioned: trichloroacetic acid and trifluoroacetic acid. Trifluoroacetic acid may need to be replenished during the reaction since a portion thereof distills together with the water. Trifluoroacetic acid forms an azeotropic mixture in water. Therefore, when it is desired to remove the trifluoroacetic acid catalyst, it is preferred that a series 25 of distillations be made with the addition of water after each distillation so as to remove substantially all of the acid. When trichloroacetic acid is used as the catalyst, the temperature is raised up to about 1700 C to remove the catalyst after any hydrochloric acid to 30 be formed from the trichloroacetic acid is neutralized. The quantity of the catalyst can vary from about 1% to about 6% based WO 00/64669 PCTIUSOO/08994 11 on the weight of the phenol charged to the reaction mixture. The quantity of oxalic acid is from about 1% to 6%, preferably about 1.5% to about 5% and particularly about 2.5% to about 4% based on the weight of phenol charged to the reaction mixture. When a trihaloacetic acid is used as catalyst, the quantity 5 of catalyst is preferably from about 1 % to about 4% by weight based on the phenol charged to the reaction mixture and particularly about 1% to about 3%. Mixtures of the acid catalysts can also be used. The Reaction Conditions 10 The polyphenols (condensation products) of this invention may be prepared by continuous or step-wise contact of the glyoxal with a molar excess of the phenol in the presence of the acid catalyst. Illustratively, for stepwise reaction, a phenol and the acid catalyst are charged to a reactor and then an initial increment of the glyoxal is charged to the reactor while the reaction 15 mixture is maintained at a temperature of about 800 C to about 1000 C. The glyoxal reacts with the phenol and then additional glyoxal is charged to the reaction mixture. The molar ratio of glyoxal to phenol in the manufacture of the phenol 20 glyoxal condensation products is from about 0.15 to 0.22 moles of glyoxal for each mole of phenol charged and preferably about 0.16 to 0.20 moles of glyoxal for each mole of phenol charged. When a total of two increments of glyoxal are made to the reaction mixture, it is preferred that each increment be from abut 0.06 to 0.11 moles of glyoxal based on the total moles of phenol charged and 25 particularly about 2 equal molar quantities of the glyoxal. Total mole ratios of less than about 0.15 moles of glyoxal for each mole of phenol charged give more of the tetraphenols, such as TPE which is essentially devoid of optical properties in the ranges given above for AOI quality control. Ratios of greater than about 0.22 moles of glyoxal for each mole of phenol lead to longer reaction 30 times and are likely to give product with higher viscosity. The aldehyde equivalents or aldehyde units in the reaction mixture are WO 00/64669 PCT/USOO/08994 12 maintained at less than about 70%, and preferably less than about 60% of the total aldehyde equivalents or aldehyde units which will be charged to the reaction mixture for making the phenol-glyoxal condensate. Thus, not more than about 70% of the aldehyde equivalents to be used in the reaction are 5 present in the reaction mixture at any one time. The catalyst is removed from the reaction mixture after at least about 85% of the aldehyde equivalents of the total aldehyde equivalents to be charged to the reactor have reacted, and preferably when from about 90% to 10 95% of such aldehyde equivalents have reacted. Then the temperature is generally raised to remove the catalyst. However, when trichloroacetic acid is the catalyst, a basic material is added to the reaction mixture in an amount sufficient to neutralize any hydrochloric acid to be formed as a decomposition product of such acid before distillation is effected to remove the catalyst. 15 When the basic material used to neutralize hydrochloric acid is an alkali metal oxide or hydroxide or an alkaline earth metal oxide or hydroxide, e.g., sodium hydroxide or calcium hydroxide about 80% molar equivalents of such base are added based on the molar equivalents of the trichloroacetic acid used 20 as catalyst. When an amine is used as the basic material, about 10% to 20% of the amine molar equivalents are added to the reaction mixture for neutralizing HCI based on the molar equivalents of trichloroacetic acid used as catalyst. It is preferred that the basic material be an amine so that metal ions such as that of alkali metal or alkaline earth metals not be included in the product. The 25 presence of metal ions is deleterious for use of the product in the more demanding electronic applications. Illustrative of amines for neutralizing the hydrochloric acid there can be mentioned amines having a pKa value of about 5 to about 11 such as pyridine, picoline, benzyldimetylamine, triethylamine, and hydroxyethyldiethylamine. 30 The total time for the condensation reaction of aldehyde with the phenol will typically vary from about 5 to about 15 hours and preferably about 8 to 12 WO 00/64669 PCT/USOO/08994 13 hours. The temperature of the condensation reaction of the phenol and glyoxal in the presence of the catalyst, including distillations, will be in the range of from 5 about 800 C to about 1000 C and preferably from about 850 C to 950 C. until at least about 85% or more of the aldehyde equivalents in the total quantity of glyoxal to be charged for making the condensation product have reacted. Water is removed continuously or intermittently by distillation, such as 10 after the reaction of glyoxal with phenol following individual additions of the glyoxal, since accumulation of water in the reaction mixture slows the reaction. Water is formed by the condensation reaction of glyoxal with phenol and additionally water is generally present in the glyoxal charge, e.g., glyoxal is generally used as a 40% solution in water. 15 The water content in the reaction mixture is preferably kept to below about 8% by weight based on the phenol charged to the reaction mixture and preferably below about 6% based on the weight of phenol charged to the reaction mixture. Illustratively, two or more, e.g. 2 to 4, additions of the 20 glyoxal are made to the reaction mixture with distillation of water after reaction of glyoxal with the excess phenol. Preferably, an initial glyoxal charge is made with the subsequent reaction followed by distillation of water and then a second glyoxal charge is made followed by reaction of the monomers prior to reacting at least about 85% of the total aldehyde equivalents to be used for making the 25 condensation product. Instead of monitoring the progress of the reaction by measuring aldehyde equivalents, the time of reaction can be used for conducting the reaction when the reactants and catalysts are the same and the operating conditions are within 30 the same ranges, e.g., mole ratios, reaction temperatures, the catalyst and the quantity thereof; times for distillation of water and the amount of distillate. Illustratively, the following steps and time periods can be used when: total molar WO 00/64669 PCT/USOO/08994 14 ratio of glyoxal to phenol is from about 0.15 to 0.22; a 40% solution of glyoxal is reacted with phenol itself at a temperature of 800 C to 1000 C; an initial glyoxal charge is made with subsequent reaction of the glyoxal with phenol and in time by distillation, followed by another glyoxal addition followed by continued 5 reaction and then distillation which is followed by continued reaction before depletion of the aldehyde equivalents to 15% or less of that charged. From about 0.06 to 0.11 moles of the glyoxal, based on the amount of phenol charged, are added with each charge of the glyoxal. Thus, after addition of the initial quantity of glyoxal, the aldehyde is reacted with the phenol for about 1 to 5 10 hours, preferably 1.5 to 3 hours and then there is distilled from about 8% to 12% of a first distillate from the reaction mixture based on the weight of phenol charged. After the first distillation, which is also conducted within the temperature range of about 80 to 1000 C another 0.06 to 0.11 moles of glyoxal based on the 15 moles of phenol charged, are slowly added to the reaction mixture. Preferably, there is charged about equal quantities of glyoxal during each addition. Heating of the reaction mixture is continued for another 1 to 6, preferably 1.5 to 5 hours from the time the first distillation commenced and then a second distillation is started to remove about another 4% to 12% of water based on the phenol 20 charged. After the second distillation, the reaction is permitted to continue for another 0.5 to 6, preferably 1 to 4 hours from the time the second distillation commenced before the temperature is raised for distillation together with removal of the catalyst. 25 The temperature of 800 C to 1000 C is used until it is time to raise the temperature and remove the catalyst or unreacted phenol. Such distillation, prior to increasing the temperature for removal of catalyst, is conducted under vacuum so as to assist in the control of the temperature. The vacuum can vary from about 15 to 25 inches or more of mercury. 30 The temperature for removal of the catalyst by distillation is less than about 1700 C, preferably less than about 1600 C. When oxalic acid is the WO 00/64669 PCTIUSOO/08994 15 catalyst, the temperature is raised above 1350 C to about 1700 C, particularly about 1550 C to about 1600 C. All or some of the water is removed at the time the catalyst is removed. In 5 the case where oxalic acid is the catalyst, all or substantially all of the water is removed when the catalyst is removed from the reaction mixture. Any water remaining in the reaction mixture after elimination of the catalyst is finally removed by the distillation in removal of the phenol. 10 After removal of the water and all of the catalyst, unreacted (free) phenol is removed from the reaction mixture so as to bring the free phenol content of the reaction mixture to less than about 5%, preferably to less than about 2% and particularly less than about 1.5% by weight of the reaction mixture. 15 Removal of the unreacted phenol is attained by conventional means such as in the removal of unreacted phenol in novolac resins, e.g., flash distillation by heating the reaction mixture at an elevated temperature under vacuum. Thus, the temperature can be up to about 190* C or 2000 C under about 25 to 30 inches of mercury. Steam sparging under vacuum at such temperatures can 20 also be used to remove phenol in the product. Concurrently with removal of phenol or as a separate step following removal of the catalyst, the reaction mixture is heated at a temperature of from about 1750 C to about 2000 C and preferably from about 1800 C to about 1950 C. 25 Such heating is conducted for a period of about 0.25 to 3 hours and preferably for about 0.5 to 2 hours. All or a portion of such heating can be conducted at the time the phenol is removed under vacuum. Optionally, the phenol-glyoxal condensation product with 5% or less of unreacted phenol can be placed in an inert atmosphere and heated to conduct a portion or all of the heating in the 30 range of about 1750 C to 2000 C for about 0.5 to 3 hours. Illustrative of an inert atmosphere there can be mentioned nitrogen or argon. After such heating step at about 1750 C to 2000 C and reduction of phenol in the reaction mixture to less WO 00/64669 PCT/USOO/08994 16 than 5%, the reaction mixture is also referred to as the phenol-glyoxal condensation product. The phenol-glyoxal condensation product is eventually cooled and 5 generally comminuted, e.g., flaked. The Phenol-Glyoxal Condensation Products Properties of the phenol-glyoxal condensation products are as follows: Broad Preferred 10 Property Range Range Mw/Mn 400-600/300-390 440-540/320-370 Viscosity, cps at 175* C 300-2500 450-1500 15 Free Phenol (%) 0-5 0.03-1.5 Tetraphenol ethane such as TPE (%) 0-6 1-4 UV absorbance at 350 nm at least 0.400 at least 0.450 20 particularly >0.5 UV absorbance at 365 nm at least 0.260 at least 0.275 particularly >0.30 Fluorescence: The fluorescence of the phenol glyoxal condensates is about 25 70% higher at fluorescence maximum (about 532 nm) than Acridine Orange Base (Aldrich Chemical) using an excitation wavelength of 442 nm, acquisition time of 0.5 seconds as measured in a CM 1000 instrument (Spectra Group Ltd, Inc. of Maumee, Ohio). Acridine Orange Base was used at a concentration of 0.2 mg per liter in methanol and the phenol-glyoxal condensate at a 30 concentration of 0.05 weight percent in tetrahydrofuran. The phenol-glyoxal condensation products contain a variety of compounds, including polyphenols such as di-, tri-, and tetraphenols.
WO 00/64669 PCT/USOO/08994 17 Illustratively, such tetraphenols can be represented by the formula: C RX C RX 5 HO C C C C C C C C OH C C CH CH 10 C C RX RX C C C C HO C C C C OH C C 15 wherein X is an integer of 0 to 3. When R is alkyl and or alkoxy x is 1-3 and the alkyl and alkoxy groups have 1 to 4 carbon atoms. When the reactants are phenol itself and glyoxal, the above polyphenol is tetrakis(4 hydroxyphenyl)ethane (TPE) which is also referred to as 1, 1, 2, 2-tetrakis(4 hydroxyphenyl)ethane. Epoxidation of the tetrakis(4-hyd roxyphenyl)ethane gives 20 the tetraglycidyl ether of tetrakis(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane. By residue or residues of a phenol-glyoxal condensation product is meant the amount of phenol-glyoxal condensate used in making a reaction product such as a resin or compound. Illustratively, if 10 grams of a phenyl-glyoxal 25 condensate are reacted with 40 grams of an epoxide, the phenyl-glyoxal condensate residue of the composition would be 10 grams. Also, if 20 grams of a phenyl-glyoxal condensate is glycidylated and the glycidylated product is subsequently reacted with a phenol-formaldehyde novolac, the phenol-glyoxal residue would still be 20 grams. Generally the phenol-glyoxal residue is 30 expressed as an amount. The epoxy resin used in the laminate compositions of this invention will WO 00/64669 PCTIUSOO/08994 18 have a weight per epoxide (WPE) value of from about 190 to 10,000 and preferably from about 190 to 500. The pressure used in making the laminates can vary from the contact 5 pressure of applying a laminated lining to a tank wall to the high pressure, e.g., 1,000 psi or more, used in the manufacture of electrical insulation sheets. The temperature used in making the laminates can vary over a wide range such as that of about room temperature to over 2100 C. 10 The use of a solvent in the laminate compositions is optional. Preparation of Polyepoxides Epoxidized products of the phenol-glyoxal condensates can be prepared 15 by at least two different conventional routes. One route is by reaction of the phenol-glyoxal condensate with a halohydrin in the presence of an alkali metal hydroxide to form glycidyl ethers of the polyphenol. Such epoxidized products will typically have epoxy equivalents of about 190 to 230 and preferably about 205 to 225. The other route is by reacting a molar excess of a preformed 20 polyfunctional epoxy with the phenol-glyoxal condensate. Such epoxidized products by the other route will typically have epoxy equivalents of about 140 to 250 and preferably about 160 to 230. In the first route, the polyepoxide is prepared by contacting the phenol 25 glyoxal condensation product with an excess of epichlorohydrin in the presence of an alkali metal hydroxide such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide at a temperature within the range of about 500 C to about 800 C. Optional catalysts, such as quaternary ammonium salts, may be employed. The reaction can be carried out in the presence of an inert solvent, including alcohols such as 30 ethanol, isopropanol, methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), toluene, ethers, and mixtures thereof.
WO 00/64669 PCT/USOO/08994 19 Another method for preparing the polyepoxide by the first route is set forth in U.S. 4,518,762 of May 21, 1985 to Ciba Geigy Corp. which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Briefly, in this process, the polyphenol, preferably the phenol-glyoxal purified product, is reacted at a 5 temperature of 400 to 1000 C, in the absence of any catalyst specific for the formation of the chlorohydrin ether intermediate, in the presence of 2 to 25% by weight, based on the reaction mixture, of a lower alkanol or lower alkoxyalkanol cosolvent, with excess epichlorohydrin, based on the phenolic hydroxy value, in the presence of 0.5 to 8% by weight of water, based on the reaction mixture, 10 and with 0.9 to 1.15 equivalents of solid alkali metal hydroxide per phenolic hydroxyl group to give the epoxy derivative of the polyphenol and wherein there is 0.5% to 8 % by weight of water in the reaction mixture throughout the reaction period, using a solid alkali metal hydroxide in the form of beads of about 1 mm diameter, which hydroxide is charged to the reaction mixture portionwise or 15 continuously during a gradually escalating addition program, and then isolating the epoxy novolac resin. In the second route for preparation of the epoxy resins containing the phenol-glyoxal condensation products of this invention, one part by weight of 20 such condensation product is reacted with 4 to 8 parts of a polyepoxide at about 1000 C to about 1500 C using a catalyst, e.g., potassium hydroxide, benzyldimethylamine, benzyltrimethylammonium hydroxide, 2-methyl imidazole, and 2,4,6-tris(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol. Typical catalyst levels are about 0.1 % to about 0.6% based on the reaction mass. Typical polyepoxides for 25 reaction with the phenol-glyoxal condensation product are those of diglycidyl ether resins, e.g., the diglycidyl ether resins of: bisphenol A; bisphenol F; resorcinol; neopentyl glycol; cyclohexane dimethanol; and mixtures thereof. The phenol-glyoxal condensation products of this invention can also be 30 partially epoxidized without sacrifice in the desirable optical properties by reduction of the quantity of alkali used in the reaction with epichlorohydrin. Illustratively, reduction of caustic to about 40% to 70% of that in the methods of WO 00/64669 PCT/USOO/08994 20 the above described first route affords partially epoxidized derivatives. Unless trichloroacetic acid is used as catalyst with metal ion oxides or hydroxides for neutralization of the hydrochloric acid, the phenol-glyoxal 5 condensation products of this invention will typically have a percent by weight concentration of metal ions of less than about: 0.005% for sodium: 0.003% for calcium; 0.003% for iron; and 0.002 % for potassium. The phenol-glyoxal condensates can be used alone to cure epoxy resins 10 but preferably they are used in combination with other epoxy resin curing agents. The laminates of this invention are conventional laminates containing a reinforcing agent such as glass cloth, and a resinous matrix comprising an epoxy resin and a curing agent for the epoxy agent such as a phenol 15 formaldehyde resin , except that the resinous matrix will also contain from about 1 to 35 parts by weight, preferably about 1 to 15 parts and particularly about 2 to 10 parts by weight, based on the weight of of the resinous matrix, of a phenol glyoxal condensate, residue or mixture thereof. The epoxy resin, curing agent, phenol-glyoxal condensate or residue thereof and optionally a solvent system for 20 the epoxy and curing agent, will generally comprise at least 75% of the resinous matrix or mixture. The resinous matrix of the laminates of this invention containing a solvent will generally contain, by weight, from about 40 to 80 and preferably 50 25 to 70 parts of an epoxy resin; about 1 to 15 parts and preferably about 2 to 10 parts of a phenol-glyoxal condensate, residue or mixture thereof about 10 to 35 and preferably 15 to 30 parts of a solvent and about 7 to 35 parts of a conventional epoxy curing agent. 30 The preferred polyepoxide products of this invention when used in electronic applications such as laminates for the production of printed circuit boards will typically comprise the following composition based on 100 parts of an WO 00/64669 PCTIUSOO/08994 21 epoxy resin, e.g., an epoxy resin such as the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A: (a) about 18-25 parts of a curing agent such as a phenol-formaldehyde novolac; 5 (b) about 3-10 parts of a member selected from the group consisting of a glycidylated phenol-glyoxal condensation product, a reaction product of an epoxy resin and a phenol-glyoxal condensation product, a phenol-glyoxal condensation product and mixtures thereof; and (c) optionally, an epoxy curing accelerator. 10 Epoxy resins for laminating and coating formulations are generally solvent based. Coating formulations may include fillers whereas laminating formulations generally impregnate multiple layers of a fiber matrix such a glass cloth with a phenolic compatible finish. 15 The laminates of this invention can be made flame retardant by conventional techniques such as the use of a halogenated epoxy resin as the main resin matrix ingredient or a brominated or chlorinated flame resistant additive such as chlorinated bisphenol-A, tetrachlorinatied bisphenol-A or tris 20 (2,3-dibromopropyl)phosphate and antimony oxide Conventional laminating techniques can be used in making the laminates of his invention such as the wet or dry-lay-up techniques. 25 The laminates of this invention will generally contain about 40% to 80% by weight of resinous matrix material and about 20% to 60% by weight of reinforcing material such as glass cloth. Epoxy resins useful in this invention are generally those derived from 30 bisphenol- A and brominated bisphenol A with weight per epoxy (WPE) values of about 190 to about 2,000. Other epoxy resins which may be used apart from the bisphenol A resins include: epoxy phenol novolacs; epoxy cresol novolacs; WO 00/64669 PCTIUSOO/08994 22 aromatic glycidyl amine resins such as tri glycidyl-p-amino phenol; N, N, N',N' tetraglycidyl-4,4'-diaminodiphenyl methane. Epoxy phenol novolacs include epoxy resins derived from phenol-glyoxal condensates by reaction with epichlorohydrin, in the presence of alkali such as Epon 1031 of Shell Chemical; 5 reaction products of an epoxy resin and a phenol-glyoxal condensation product. The conventional epoxy resin making up the 100 parts of the composition is preferably a flame retardant epoxy resin such as a halogenated epoxy resin, e.g., chlorinated or brominated epoxy resin. Illustrative of such brominated epoxy resins there can be mentioned the brominated product of the diglycidyl 10 ether of bisphenol A, e.g., EPON 1124 (CAS No.: 26265-08-07) of Shell Chemical Co. This brominated epoxy resin can be used in flame retardant compositions with epoxy resins such as those of glycidyl ethers of a phenolic novolac, glycidyl ethers of an o-cresol/formaldehyde novolac, diglycidyl ethers of bisphenol A, diglycidyl ethers of bisphenol F, diglycidyl ethers of resorcinol, 15 diglycidyl ethers of neopentyl glycol or diglycidyl ethers of cyclohexanedimethanol and mixtures thereof. Epoxy curing accelerators can be used in a quantity sufficient to accelerate the cure of the epoxy resin. Generally, such quantity is from about 20 0.05 to 0.5 parts based on 100 parts of the epoxy resin and particularly about 0.1 to 0.2 parts. Such accelerators include 2-methylimidazole, 2-ethyl-4 methylimidazole, amines such as 2,4,6-tris (dimethylaminomethyl)phenol and benzyldimethylamine, and organophosphorus compounds such as tributylphosphine and triphenylphosphine. 25 Reactive diluents may also be present to lower viscosity and improve handling characteristics. Examples of reactive diluents include neopentylglycol diglycidyl ether; butanediol diglycidyl ether; resorcinol diglycidyl ether; and cyclohexane dimethanol diglycidyl ether. 30 A variety of curing agents well known in the art can be used for the epoxy resin. They include but are not limited to aromatic amines, polyamidoamines; WO 00/64669 PCT/USOO/08994 23 polyamides; dicyandiamide; phenol-formaldehyde novolacs; and melamine formaldehyde resin. When phenol novolacs are used as curing agents a catalyst (accelerator) 5 is generally employed and may be selected from tertiary organic amides such as 2-alkylimidazoles; N, N -dimethylbenzylamine; and phosphines such as triphenylphosph ine and mixtures thereof. The phenol novolac curing agents are condensation products of phenol 10 with formaldehyde wherein the phenol can be selected from phenol itself, cresols, xylenols, resorcinol, bisphenol-A, paraphenyl phenol, naphthol, and mixtures thereof. Substituents for the monomers include hydroxy, alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms as well as phenyl. Novolacs and dicyanodiamides are preferred curing agents. Particularly preferred curing 15 agents are the phenol-formaldehyde novolacs and ortho-cresol-formaldehyde novolacs having a molecular weight of 1,000 to 5,000. A wide variety of solvents may be used, including haolgenated solvents, ketones, alcohols, glycol ethers, glycol acetates, N, N-dimethylformamide. The 20 later is particularly useful when dicyandiamide is used as curing agent. Ketones include acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, diethyl ketone, and methyl isobutyl ketone. Reinforcing fibers or fabrics of reinforcing fibers include glass fibers and mats; carbon and graphite fibers, cellulosic paper, fibrous polyamide sheets, 25 fibrous quartz sheets, woven fibrous glass cloth, unwoven fibrous glass mat, and the like. Fillers such as quartz powdered, mica, talc, calcium carbonate and the like may also be added to the resinous matrix. 30 The laminate can be prepared at room temperature or by heating under pressure a layer comprising at least one sheet of prepreg comprising an epoxy WO 00/64669 PCT/USOO/08994 24 resin as impregnant. The weight average molecular weight (Mw) and number average molecular weight(Mn) herein are measured using gel permeation 5 chromatography and phenolic compounds and polystyrene standards. The sample molecular weight to be measured is prepared as follows: the sample is dissolved in tetrahydrofuran and the solution is run through a gel permeation chromatograph. Any free phenol in the sample is excluded from calculation of molecular weight. 10 The quantity of TPE in the various reaction mixtures was determined by the following method. (a) The reagents used were para-ethyl phenol, TPE, and silylation reagent. (b) Procedure for determining TPE was as follows: 15 A silylation reagent was prepared as follows: into 25 ml (milliliter) reaction flask, add by syringe: 10 cc (cubic centimeters) of pyridine, 3 cc of trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS), and 10 cc of hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS). This was left to stand for 5 to 10 minutes. (c) The TPE standard solution is prepared as follows: 20 Weigh into vial (appropriate for silylation) approximately 30 mg each TPE and p ethylphenol. Add 1 cc silylation reagent. Shake until dissolved (approximately 10 minutes). Heat in low temperature oven overnight. Inject 1 microliter into gas chromatograph. Use methyl ethyl ketone as rinses. The column used for this analysis is Dexsil 300 which is supplied by Supelco of Belfonte, Pa. 25 In order that those skilled in the art may more fully understand the invention presented herein, the following examples are set forth. All parts and percentages in the examples, as well as elsewhere in this application are by weight, unless otherwise specifically stated. 30 The following examples are illustrative of the invention. Some of the examples are designated as "comparative" to show differences from examples WO 00/64669 PCT/USOO/08994 25 which are part of this invention and not necessarily as comparisons with the prior art. EXAMPLE 1 5 PREPARATION OF PHENOL-GLYOXAL CONDENSATION PRODUCT AT 90 C WITH TWO ADDITIONS OF GLYOXAL AND OXALIC ACID CATALYST To 1,728 grams (g) (18.36 moles) phenol and 69.1 g oxalic acid dihydrate at 900 C there was added over 30 minutes 227 g of 40% glyoxal in water (1.57 10 moles). The temperature was maintained at 900 C for another 1.5 hours and then there was vacuum distilled 185 g of distillate (10.7% based on the weight of phenol charged) from the reaction mixture at 900 C over a period of forty minutes. After such heating, approximately 79% of the aldehyde equivalents charged until that time had reacted and the quantity of water in the reaction 15 mixture was about 4%. Another 227 g of 40% glyoxal in water (1.57 moles) was added to the reaction mixture over a 25 minute period while the temperature was maintained at 90* C for 1.5 hours and then there was vacuum distilled 195 g of distillate (11.3% based on the weight of phenol charged) at 90' C over a period of thirty minutes. After such heating approximately 70% of the aldehyde 20 equivalents charged until that time had reacted and the water content of the reaction mixture was about 3.5%. The molar ratio of glyoxal to phenol for the total of both glyoxal additions was 0.17. The temperature of 90 C was maintained for another 1.5 hours. After such heating, 90% of the aldehyde equivalents charged to the reaction mixture until that time had reacted and the 25 water content was about 4.5%. Then the reaction mixture was distilled at atmospheric pressure to 1600 C and held at 1600 C for one hour. The reaction mixture was then vacuum distilled to remove the bulk of unreacted phenol at 155-1600 C. Vacuum distillation was continued up to a temperature of 1900 C and held at that temperature for one hour until phenol in the reaction mixture 30 was less than 1%. The resulting phenol-glyoxal condensation product was then comminuted, e.g., flaked. During the reaction the aldehyde equivalents in the reaction mixture were maintained at less than about 70% of the aldehyde WO 00/64669 PCT/USOO/08994 26 equivalents in the total quantity of glyoxal to be charged for making the phenol glyoxal condensation product. Properties of the phenol-glyoxal condensation product are given in tables which follow. In the tables which follow, this example is also referred to as EX1. 5 EXAMPLE 2 (COMPARATIVE) PREPARATION OF PHENOL-GLYOXAL POLYPHENOL AT 90 0 C WITH ONE ADDITION OF GLYOXAL AND OXALIC ACID CATALYST 10 To 576 g (6.12 moles) phenol and 23 g oxalic acid dihydrate at 850 C is added over a period of about one hour 151.4 g of 40% glyoxal in water (1.04 moles) during which period the temperature was slowly raised to 900 C. The mole ratio of glyoxal to phenol was 0.17. Immediately thereafter, vacuum is applied to remove 120 g of distillate at 90-950 C over a period of 60 minutes. A 15 temperature of 90-920 C was maintained for 2.25 hours after which time about 82% of the aldehyde equivalents charged had reacted. Then vacuum was applied over 15 minutes to remove 13.3 g of distillate. Heating was continued at 900 C to 910 C for 1.25 hours. After the 1.25 hour period approximately 88% of aldehyde equivalents charged had reacted. Vacuum was then applied over 6 20 minutes to remove 6.68 g of distillate. Heating at 900 C was continued for 5 hours and one hour at 1000 C. After such heating for one hour, about 94% of the aldehyde equivalents charged to the reaction mixture had reacted. The reaction mixture was atmospherically distilled to 1600 C. The temperature of 1600 C was held for one hour. The reaction mixture was then vacuum distilled to remove the 25 bulk of unreacted phenol at 155-1600 C and the vacuum distillation was continued at 1900 C until phenol in the reaction mixture was less than 1%. During the vacuum distillation the reaction mixture was heated at a temperature of about 1750 C to 1920 C for about 0.25 hours. The reaction mixture is then discharged from the reactor and then comminuted, e.g., flaked. Properties of the 30 polyphenol product of this example are given in tables which follow and this example may be referred to as EX2.
WO 00/64669 PCTUSOO/08994 27 EXAMPLE 3 (COMPARATIVE) PREPARATION OF PHENOL-GLYOXAL POLYPHENOL AT 1020 C AND REFLUX (103-1040 C) WITH ONE ADDITION OF GLYOXAL AND OXALIC ACID CATALYST 5 To 576 g (6.12 moles) phenol and 23 g oxalic acid dihydrate at 90 C there was added over a one hour period 151.4 g of 40% glyoxal in water (1.04 moles) while the temperature was allowed to rise to reflux (103-1040 C). The mole ratio of glyoxal to phenol was 0.17. The reaction mixture was held at reflux 10 for 10 hours. After such reflux approximately 89% of the aldehyde equivalents had reacted. The temperature was then raised to 110* C and there was removed 55.5 g of distillate over a period of about 22 minutes. The temperature was held at 1100 C for one hour and then the reaction mixture was atmospherically distilled to 1600 C. The reaction mixture was then held for one 15 hour at 1600 C. The reaction mixture was then vacuum distilled to remove the bulk of unreacted phenol at 155-1600 C and the vacuum distillation was then continued at 1760 C until phenol in the reaction mixture was less than 3%. During the reaction, the aldehyde equivalents in the reaction mixture were maintained at less than about 70% of the aldehyde equivalents in the total 20 quantity of glyoxal to be charged for making the condensation product. The reaction mixture was then discharged from the reactor and comminuted, e.g., flaked. Properties of the polyphenol product of this example are given in tables which follow and this example may be referred to as EX3. 25 EXAMPLE 4 (COMPARATIVE) PREPARATION OF PHENOL-GLYOXAL POLYPHENOL AT 1020 AND REFLUX (103-1040 C) WITH ONE ADDITION OF GLYOXAL AND HCL CATALYST 30 To 576 g (6.12 moles) phenol and 6.23 g 18.5% HCI (0.2% HCI on phenol) at 900 C is added over a one hour period 151.4 g of 40% glyoxal in water (1.04 moles) while the temperature is allowed to rise to reflux (103-1040 WO 00/64669 PCTIUSOO/08994 28 C). The molar ratio of glyoxal to phenol was 0.17. After two hours at reflux about 93% of the aldehyde equivalents charged had reacted. The reaction mixture was then vacuum distilled with the temperature rising to 110* C to remove aqueous HCI distillate of 116.4 g. 100 g of hot water was then added to 5 the reaction mixture and distillation was continued at atmospheric pressure to 1500 C. The hydrochloric acid catalyst (HCI) is co-distilled with water from the reaction mixture. Then, by vacuum distillation up to 1800, the unreacted phenol was removed to less than 4% remaining in the reaction mixture. The reaction mixture is then discharged from the reactor and comminuted, e.g., flaked. 10 Properties of the polyphenol product of this example are given in the tables which follow and this example may be referred to as EX4. EXAMPLE 5 (COMPARATIVE) PREPARATION OF PHENOL-GLYOXAL POLYPHENOL AT 1020 C AND 15 REFLUX (103-1040 C) WITH ONE ADDITION OF GLYOXAL AND PHENOLSULFONIC ACID CATALYST To 576 g (6.12 moles) phenol and 5.76 g (grams) (1.5% based on phenol) of 65% phenolsulfonic acid at 90* C as catalyst there is added over a one hour period 151.4 g of 40% glyoxal in water (1.04 moles). The mole ratio of 20 glyoxal to phenol is 0.17. The temperature of the reaction mixture is permitted to rise to reflux (103-1040 C) where it remained for several hours and the conversion of aldehyde equivalents was up to about 96% of that charged. This is followed by neutralization of the catalyst, cooling to 650 C and washing with distilled water to remove salt. This is followed by atmospheric distillation to 1600 25 C and then vacuum distillation at about 1760 C to reduce the quantity of unreacted phenol in the reaction mixture to about 1%. The reaction mixture is eventually comminuted, e.g., flaked. EXAMPLE 5A (COMPARATIVE) 30 The procedure of the above Example 5 was followed but the phenolsulfonic acid was replaced by 1.25 g (0.22% based on phenol) of anhydrous methanesufonic acid. Approximately 97% of the aldehyde WO 00/64669 PCTIUSOO/08994 29 equivalents charged had reacted prior to neutralization of the catalyst. Essentially, equivalent properties, molecular weights, viscosities, and % of TPE is obtained. Properties of the phenol-glyoxal condensation product are given in tables which follow wherein this example may be referred to as EX5A. 5 EXAMPLE 6 LARGE SCALE PRODUCTION OF PHENOL-GLYOXAL CONDENSATION PRODUCT IN THE MANNER OF EXAMPLE 1 The phenol-glyoxal condensation product of Example 6 was prepared in 10 substantially the same manner as Example 1 except that it was prepared on large scale equipment which can produce several hundred pounds of product and was vacuum steam sparged at 1900 C to reduce phenol below 0.1%. The percent insolubles were 0.04% for the phenol-glyoxal condensation product of this example whereas other properties are given in tables which follow wherein 15 this example may be referred to as EX6. The test for insolubles was conducted by essentially dissolving 15 g (grams) of condensate in 285 mis (milliliters) of isopropanol, filtering through a No. 42 Whatman filter paper and then drying the paper in an oven at 750 C to 1000 C for 30 minutes. 20 EXAMPLE 7. LARGE SCALE PRODUCTION OF PHENOL-GLYOXAL CONDENSATION PRODUCT IN THE MANNER OF EXAMPLE 1 The phenol-glyoxal condensation product of Example 7 was prepared in the same manner as that of Example 6, except that it was prepared at a different 25 time. The percent insolubles in the product were 0.01 % whereas other properties are given in tables which follow wherein this example may be referred to as EX7. The test for insolubles was performed in the same manner as in Example 6 above. 30 EXAMPLE 8 PREPARATION OF POLY GLYCIDYL ETHER RESIN (EPOXY RESIN) A one liter flask was charged with: 75 g (grams) of the flaked reaction WO 00/64669 PCT/USOO/08994 30 product of Example 6; 200 g of isopropyl alcohol; and 52.5 g of water to form a reaction mixture. The reaction mixture was heated to 550 C. After 10 minutes there was add 388.5 g of epichlorohydrin. The reaction mixture was reheated to 550 C and then 30 g of a 20% solution of sodium hydroxide in water was added 5 while maintaining a temperature of 550 C. The 55' C temperature was held for another 30 minutes. Then there was added 90 g of 20% solution of sodium hydroxide in water. The reaction mixture was held at 550 C for another hour, heated to 65' C and held for 30 minutes and then transferred to a separatory funnel. The upper clear brown organic layer (145.6 g) was stirred with 150 g 10 water and 50 g of dry ice. The aqueous layer was discarded and the organic layer washed a second time and then vacuum distilled to recover excess epichlorohydrin and 105 g of dark resin of the epoxidized product of Example 6. This epoxy resin has a weight per epoxy equivalent of 203.1 and 225.8. This compares with a weight per epoxy equivalent of 210 for EPON 1031. Viscosities 15 and weight per epoxy equivalent (WPE) of the epoxy resin of this Example 8 as well as comparisons with other epoxy resins prepared from polyphenols are shown below in tables wherein this example may be referred to as EX8. EXAMPLE 9 (COMPARATIVE) 20 PREPARATION OF PHENOL-GLYOXAL POLYPHENOL USING ACIDIC (SULFONIC ACID) ION EXCHANGE RESIN To 709.3 g of phenol (7.54 moles) and 35.5 g of Amberlyst 15 which is a dry sulfonic acid ion exchange resin sold by Rohm & Haas Co. at a temperature 25 of 900 C over 30 minutes, there was added 93 g of 40% glyoxal in water (0.64 moles). This resin was chosen since the resin used as catalyst in U.S. patents: 5,012,016; 5,146,006; and 5,191,128, all to S. Li, were unavailable and this resin appeared to be the closest to such resin. The temperature was maintained at 90 C for another 1.5 hours. After such time 88% of the aldehyde equivalents 30 charged to the reaction mixture had reacted. Then there was vacuum distilled 42 g of distillate. On completion of the distillation 95% of the aldehyde equivalents charged to the reaction mixture had reacted. Another 93 g of 40% glyoxal in WO 00/64669 PCT/USOO/08994 31 water was added over 31 minutes while the temperature was maintained at 90* C for 1.5 hours. After such 1.5 hours, 81% of the aldehyde equivalents charged to the reaction mixture had reacted. Then there was vacuum distilled 70 g of distillate at 900 C over a period of 30 minutes. The temperature of 90* C was 5 maintained for another 30 minutes after which time, 91% of the aldehyde equivalents charged to the reaction mixture had reacted. The molar ratio of glyoxal to phenol for the total of both glyoxal additions was 0.17. Catalyst was allowed to settle and relatively clear liquor (687 g) decanted off and neutralized to pH of 6 with 2.6 g of 50% sodium hydroxide. 650 g of neutralized solution 10 was charged to a flask for atmospheric distillation to 1600 C. The reaction mixture was then vacuum distilled to 1750 C to remove phenol. During the reaction, the aldehyde equivalents in the reaction mixture were maintained at less than about 70% of the aldehyde equivalents in the total quantity of glyoxal to be charged for making the polyphenol. Yield of product was 263 g. The 15 resulting polyphenol was then comminuted, e.g., flaked. Properties of the polyphenol are given in tables which follow wherein this example may be referred to as EX9. EXAMPLE 10 20 PREPARATION OF PHENOL-GLYOXAL CONDENSATION PRODUCT WITH TWO ADDITIONS OF GLYOXAL, OXALIC ACID CATALYST AND TOTAL GLYOXAL/PHENOL MOLE RATIO OF 0.22 FOR FIRST PORTION AND ADDITION OF PHENOL TO REDUCE THE GLYOXAL/PHENOL MOLE RATIO TO 0.17 FOR SECOND PORTION. 25 To 1419 g (15 moles) phenol and 56.5 g oxalic acid dihydrate at 900 C there was added over 30 minutes 240 g of 40% glyoxal in water (1.655 moles). The temperature was maintained at 90* C for another 1.5 hours and then there was vacuum distilled 148.3 g of distillate from the reaction mixture at 9 0 4 C over 30 a period of fifty minutes whereupon about 62% of the aldehyde equivalents charged to the reaction mixture had reacted after such fifty minute period. Another 240 g of 40% glyoxal in water (1.655 moles) was added to the reaction WO 00/64669 PCT/USOO/08994 32 mixture over a 22 minute period while the temperature was maintained at 900 C for 1.5 hours. About 58% of the aldehyde equivalents charged to the reaction mixture had reacted after this 1.5 hour period. There was then vacuum distilled 212.2 g of distillate at 900 C over a period of 45 minutes. After such 45 minute 5 period about 65% of the aldehyde equivalents charged to the reaction mixture had reacted. The molar ratio of glyoxal to phenol for the total of all the glyoxal additions was 0.22. The temperature of 90* C was maintained for another 5 hours. After such 5 hour period about 87% of the aldehyde equivalents charged to the reaction mixture had reacted. Then the reaction mixture was divided into 10 two. To one half (794 g) was added 214 g of phenol to adjust glyoxal/phenol mole ratio to 0.17. The reaction mixture with added phenol was heated at 90 0 C for 2.5 hours whereupon 89% of the aldehyde equivalents charged to the reaction mixture had reacted. Percent water in the reaction mixture was 4.9%. The reaction mixture was then heated to 1600 C over 25 minutes and held at 15 1600 C for one hour, after which the bulk of phenol was removed by vacuum distillation to 1750 C. The product was then discharged from the flask. The remaining one-half of reaction mixture without added phenol was heated to 1600 C as above and phenol removed by vacuum distillation to 1750 C. The phenol glyoxal condensation product made with the 0.22 mole ratio of glyoxal to phenol 20 is referred to in the tables as EX1 0.22 whereas that made with the 0.17 mole ratio of glyoxal to phenol is referred to in the tables as EX10.17 During the reaction, for both EXI 0.17 and EXI 0.22, the aldehyde equivalents in the reaction mixture were maintained at less than about 70% of the aldehyde equivalents in the total quantity of glyoxal to be charged for making the phenol 25 glyoxal condensation product. Properties of the polyphenols are given in tables which follow. The polyphenol of EX1 0.17 and that of EX1 0.12 were further heated at 1900 C for one hour under full vacuum. Properties of these products are shown in the following tables wherein the heated sample of EX1 0.17 is referred to as EX10.17H and that of EX1 0.22 is referred to as EX10.22H. It can 30 be seen from the tables that the heated samples show improved optical properties.
WO 00/64669 PCT/US00/08994 33 Example 11 PREPARATION OF PHENOL-GLYOXAL CONDENSATION PRODUCT WITH TWO ADDITIONS OF GLYOXAL, GLYOXAL-PHENOL MOLE RATIO OF 0.17 WITH TRICHLOROACETIC ACID CATALYST AND USE OF BASIC MATERIAL 5 IN REMOVAL OF HCL. To 709.3 g (7.54 moles) phenol and 17.7 g trichloroacetic acid (2.5% based on the weight of phenol charged) at 90 C there was added over 27 minutes 92.9 g of 40% glyoxal (0.64 moles) in water. The temperature was 10 maintained for 1.5 hours and about 58% of aldehyde equivalents had reacted after such 1.5 hours. Subsequently, there was vacuum distilled 62.2 g of distillate from the reaction mixture at 900 C over 26 minutes. After distillation, the aldehyde equivalents reacted (converted) was 70% of that charged and residual water content of the reaction mixture was about 3.5% Another 92.9 g of 40% 15 glyoxal (0.64 moles for a total of 1.28 moles) was added over half an hour while the temperature was maintained for 1.5 hours. The total mole ratio of glyoxal to phenol in this example was 0.17. After such heating about 62% of aldehyde equivalents charged to the reaction mixture had reacted. Subsequently there was vacuum distilled 81.6 g of distillate at 904 C over 25 minutes. After the 20 distillation, the aldehyde equivalents converted was 72% of that charged and the residual water in the reaction mixture was 3.5%. The temperature was maintained at 900 C for another 1.5 hours and about 88% of the aldehyde equivalents charged had reacted after such 1.5 hour period. One half hour later 1.0 g of pyridine was added. At such time 88 percent of aldehyde equivalents 25 which had been charged to the reaction mixture had reacted. The temperature was raised to 1250 C over one half hour and held at this temperature for 70 minutes and further raised to 1600 C for 1.5 hours and held at this temperature for 23 minutes to complete decomposition of acid. The phenol-glyoxal condensation product was further heated at 1900 C for one hour under full 30 vacuum to remove unreacted phenol and prepare the phenol-glyoxal condensation product which is also referred to as EX1 1 in the following tables. During the reaction, the aldehyde equivalents in the reaction mixture WO 00/64669 PCT/USOO/08994 34 were maintained at less than about 70% of the aldehyde equivalents in the total quantity of glyoxal to be charged for making the phenol-glyoxal condensation product. 5 EXAMPLE 12 (COMPARATIVE) PREPARATION OF PHENOL-GLYOXAL CONDENSATION PRODUCT WITH TWO ADDITIONS OF GLYOXAL, GLYOXAL-PHENOL MOLE RATIO OF 0.17 WITH TRICHLOROACETIC ACID CATALYST WITHOUT USE OF BASIC MATERIAL IN REMOVAL OF HCL. 10 The procedure of Example 11 was followed except that: a basic material, e.g., pyridine, was not added to the reaction mixture prior to raising the temperature to 1250 C and removal of the catalyst; and the final temperature after removal of phenol was 1750 C. Processing of this example was 15 discontinued upon heating to 175' C because the viscosity was unduly high. This example is also referred to in the tables as EX12.

The conventional catalysts such as HCI (EX4), sulfonic acid (EX5A and 9 give very high levels of TPE and even oxalic 15 acid when not used with incremental additions of glyoxal and removal of distillates also gave a high value of TPE (EX3). The post heating at 1900 C in Examples 10.17H and 10.22H show no significant effect on molecular weight or free TPE but decreased in free phenol content and increased in viscosity.

All of the oxalic acid catalyzed products gave higher absorbance as compared to the sulfonic acid 25 catalyzed products of Examples 5A and 9. All other things being equal, the greater concentrations of TPE provide lower optical properties. Also, it should be noted that TPE shows no absorbance under the test conditions. It can also be seen that the phenol-glyoxal condensation products of Example 10 and Example 11 which were heated at 1900 C for one hour, namely EX10.17H, EX10.22H, 30 EXi 1 .17H and EX1 1 had better optical properties as compared to the product before such heating, namely EX10.17, EX10.22, and EX1 1. Additionally, it can WO 00/64669 PCTIUSOO/08994 39 be seen that the epoxidized product of Example 1, namely Example 8, gave significantly higher absorbance than the commercial product EPON 1031. Although the product of Example 12 showed high absorbance values, its viscosity was unduly high, namely, over 9000 cps at 1750 C as shown in Table 1 5 above, and thus unacceptable.

Phenol novolac curing agent 14.4 (Durite SD1711 of Borden Chemical) 10 4. Acetone 15.05 5. Methyl ethyl ketone 7.45 6. 2-methyl imidazole 0.2 Two solutions of 2,000 cps viscosity (250 C) were made wherein two 15 different PGC's were used. The PGC's (phenol-glyoxal condensates) were the epoxides (glycidylated derivatives) of Example 6 and Example 5A as shown in the Examples hereinabove. The epoxy of Example (Ex) 6 was made by the process of Example 8 and the epoxy of Example 5A was made by substantially the same procedure. The two materials are characterized below in Test 13A. 20 Test 13A Epoxy of Mw/Mn Viscosity, cps WPE Ex. 6 576/348 12210 (1000 C) 214 Ex. 5A 767/374 11580 (1000 C) 233 25 Two-ply 11.5 inch square laminates of 7-8 mils thickness were made via a hand dip process using 2116 style glass (an E-glass) with a BGF 643 finish. Cure conditions were typical for meeting the National Electrical Manufacturers' Association (NEMA) FR4 specification, namely, 1.5 minutes at 325-3500 C in an 30 oven for the prepreg. The prepreg was then cooled to room temperature and heated over 45 minutes to 3500 F, and then held at this temperature for about 30 minutes before cooling to room temperature. The resin content for the WO 00/64669 PCTIUSOO/08994 42 laminates was about 60% by weight. The laminates were then cut into 4 inch squares and inspected with modern automatic optical inspection (AOI) equipment. In the case of ultraviolet 5 absorbance, the following equipment can be used: Hewlett-Packard's HP BV 3000, Teradyne's 5539 and Orbitech's VT 8000. The results of the AOI for fluorescence are shown in Test 13B below wherein the tests were carried out in duplicate or triplicate. Test 13B 10 Fluorescence Dynamic Range Epoxy PGC in Formulation Intensity Noise Level EX. 6 epoxy 192.2 2.0 194.7 2.0 15 EX. 5A epoxy 130.8 1.6 125.4 1.5 135.5 1.8 The data in Test 13B above show that the formulation using the epoxy of Example 6 shows 48% higher fluorescence than the formulation using the epoxy 20 of Example 5A. Replacement of the epoxy of EX. 6 by unepoxidized material, i.e., the phenol-glyoxal condensation product of Example 6 in the laminating formulation in comparison with the phenol-glyoxal condensate of example 5A with the use of AOI as discussed above showed that the phenol-glyoxal condensate of 25 Example 6 increased the fluorescence over that obtained with Example 5A by about 50% to 70% and provided clearer images to the CCD (charged couple device) cameras of the AOI equipment. The brominated epoxy for the above formulation can be partially or completely replaced by a bisphenol-A epoxy resin with comparable epoxy equivalent to obtain similar results. 30 The formulation of Example 13 is a preferred formulation. However, the brominated epoxy resin can vary from about 40% to 80% by weight of the formulation, and such resin can be substituted with a different halogen such as WO 00/64669 PCT/USOO/08994 43 chlorine. Also, the epoxy resin need not be halogenated but if fire retardency is desired, such retardency can be obtained by the addition of a conventional fire retardant. The phenol-glyoxal condensate can vary in quantity from about 1% or 2% to about 15% and be substituted entirely or partially with an equal quantity of 5 a phenol-glyoxal residue. The quantity of phenol novolac curing agent can vary from about 7% to about 35% and the quantity of solvent system can vary from about 10 to 35%, all percentages or parts being by weight. Example 14 10 FLUORESCENCE ANALYSIS IN COMPARISON WITH ACRIDINE ORANGE BASE In this example, all spectra were collected using 0.05 wt. % solutions of the samples in spectroscopic grade tetrahydrofuran (THF). The solutions were prepared by dissolving the solids in the necessary amount of THF to give the 15 desired concentration. The standard Acridine Orange Base (Aldrich Chemical Co. , Milwaukee, W1.) solution (0.78 pM) was prepared by diluting an aliquot of a concentrated solution of the dye in methanol.
