Substituted melamine additives useful in molding compositions based on thermosetting resins

摘要

A substituted melamine additive being a mixture of the formula <IMAGE> wherein the six R substituents represent the following: (a) 0 to 3 are hydrogen; (b) 1 to 5 are R'-OCH2-, wherein R' is a member selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyl having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms; (c) 1 to 4 are substituents selected from the group consisting of R2OCH2-, R2COOCH2-, R2CONHCH2-, mixtures thereof, wherein R2 is a hydrocarbon group having 8 to 28 carbon atoms, and (d) 0 to 2 are substituents selected from the group consisting of Z-CH2-O-CH2- and Z-CH2-, wherein Z is a melamine group of the formula <IMAGE> The substituted melamine additives are useful as additives in molding compositions based on thermosetting condensation resins to improve the moldability of the composition.
