Appeal No. 1996-2572
Application No. 08/192,077
This is an appeal pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the
final rejection of claims 1-19 and 23-27.
Claims 1 and 23 are representative and are reproduced
below:
1. A method for preparing an adhesive composition from
two components which method comprises:
A. preparing a first component comprising a stable
aqueous alkaline monohydroxylic phenolic resole resin solution
containing a methylene donor;
B. preparing a second component comprising a stable
aqueous resorcinolic resin precondensate having a shortage of
formaldehyde and containing a catalyst for the resole resin of
the first component; and
C. forming an adhesive composition by mixing said first
and second components; wherein the quantity of methylene donor
in said first component and catalyst in said second component
is sufficient to cause curing of the resin of the other
component.
23. An alkaline adhesive composition having a pH of at
least 9 and prepared by mixing:
A. about 70 to 99 parts by weight of a first component
comprising a stable aqueous alkaline monohydroxylic phenolic
resole resin solution having a pH of at least 9 and containing
from about O.5% to 10%, based on the weight of the solution,
of a methylene donor; and
B. about 1 to 30 parts by weight of a second component
comprising a stable aqueous resorcinolic resin solution having
a pH of from about 6.5 to 8.5 and containing from about 5% to
25%, based on the weight of the resin, of a catalyst for the
