Aminoplasts elasticized with benzoic acid esters

摘要

Melamine resins are effectively elasticized with an elasticizer having the formula R-C6H4-COO-X-OH wherein C6H4 denotes a phenylene group, R denotes a hydrogen atom or a methyl or ethyl group, and X denotes an unbranched or branched alkylene group with 2 to 6 carbon atoms whose carbon chain is either uninterrupted or interrupted by one oxygen atom. Such elasticized resins are particularly suitable for bonding together laminates.
