DIOLEFIN/HYDROXYARYL CONDENSATES AND CATALYST THEREFOR

摘要

A CATALYST COMPOSITION COMPRISING TRIFLUOROMETHANESULFONIC ACID (ALSO REFERRED TO AS TRIFLIC ACID) AND A SUFFICIENT QUANTITY OF A SUBSTANCE (ALSO REFERRED TO AS A RETARDER) TO DECREASE BUT NOT ELIMINATE THE CATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF THE ACID IS DISCLOSED. ALSO DISCLOSED, IS A METHOD AND COMPOSITION FOR CONDENSING A HYDROXYARYL WITH A DIENE BY USE OF THE CATALYST COMPOSITION. THE METHOD IS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING CONDENSATES HAVING: A MOLE RATIO OF 1 MOLE OF THE DIENE TO ONE MOLE OF THE HYDROXYARYL; ONE MOLE OF DIENE TO TWO MOLES OF THE HYDROXYARYL AS WELL AS HIGHER MOLECULAR WEIGHT PRODUCTS SUCH AS RESINS BY CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE, TIME OF REACTION, TYPE AND QUANTITY OF RETARDER AND OTHER VARIABLES
