Disclosed is a new partial capping synthesis wherein resinous mixtures containing controlled amounts of phenolic hydroxyl and/or mercapto functionality, and aliphatic hydroxyl functionality are synthesized. Such synthesis comprises providing one or more resins which in total contain aliphatic primary and/or secondary hydroxyl functionality and oxirane functionality. A single resin or blend of resins may provide the requisite functionality. The one or more resins then are reacted with a carboxyl-functional capping agent bearing phenolic hydroxyl functionality and/or mercapto functionality. This reaction is conducted under reaction conditions and for a time such that the carboxyl functionality of the capping agent selectively reacts with the oxirane functionality of the one or more resins to produce a resinous product containing aliphatic hydroxyl functionality and containing phenolic hydroxyl functionality and/or mercapto functionality.
