A process for reducing the concentration of epichlorohydrin by-products in the manufacture of polyamide-epichlorohydrin resins, comprising reacting polyaminopolyamide prepolymer in aqueous solution with epichlorohydrin and an immiscible solvent for the epichlorohydrin, continuing the reaction of the prepolymer with the epichlorohydrin to produce the desired viscosity of the aqueous phase, stabilizing the resin product by diluting or acidifying the aqueous phase, separating the solvent from the aqueous resin, and treating the solvent phase with caustic to convert epichlorohydrin by-products to epichlorohydrin for recycling.
