Phenolic resin polyols and polymers derived from the polyols

摘要

Phenolic resin polyols are disclosed. The polyols, which contain aliphatic or mixed phenolic and aliphatic hydroxyl groups, are the reaction products of aralkylated phenols or phenol aralkylation polymers with an oxyalkylating agent selected from alkylene oxides and alkylene carbonates. The phenolic resin polyols are versatile intermediates for many polymer systems, including urethanes, epoxies, alkyds, acrylates, and polyesters.
