Definitions

  • Epoxy resins have heretofore been advanced in the presence of phosphonium catalysts disclosed by Dante in U.S. 3,477,990 and Perry in Canadian 893,191 and U.S. 3,948,855.
  • the quantities of catalyst employed were that which would provide a resin having a percent epoxide value sufficiently close to the theo ⁇ retical epoxide value that no improvement in properties were envisioned.
  • U.S. Patent Nos. 4,325,918 and 4,370,465 disclose the preparation of advanced epoxy resins having improved physical properties by employing a sufficient quantity of a phosphonium catalyst such that the resultant advanced epoxy resin had a percent epoxide value lower than the theoretical percent epoxide value.
  • the process of the present invention produces advanced epoxy resins having a percent epoxide value lower than the theoretical percent epoxide and a desirably lower color than the color provided by those advanced epoxy resins produced by the process described in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,325,918 and 4,370,465.
  • the difference obtained by subtracting the percent epoxide obtained by analysis from the theoretical percent epoxide is from 0.5 to 4, often from 1 to 2.
  • the advanced epoxy resins prepared by the process of this invention are suitable for use in preparing electrical laminates.
  • the present invention pertains to a process for advancing epoxy resins in molecular weight by reacting (A) an epoxy resin which is a glycidyl ether of a dihydric phenol or thiophenol having an average of more than one glycidyl ether group per molecule with
  • Suitable glycidyl ethers of a dihydric phenol which can be employed in the present invention include those represented by the formula
  • A is a divalent hydrocarbon group having from 1
  • each X is independently hydrogen, chlorine, bromine
  • EEW EEW II ° or a hydrocarbon group having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms; each Z is independently 0 or S; x has a value of zero or one and n has a value such that the EEW is from 156 to 400, preferably from 177 to 190, calculated on the basis of X being hydrogen.
  • Particularly suitable are the diglycidyl ethers of bisphenol A and tetrabromobisphenol A.
  • Suitable dihydric phenolic or thiophenolic compounds include, for example, catechol, hydroquinone, resorcinol and bisphenols such as those represented by the formula
  • dihydric phenolic compounds are bisphenol A and tetrabromo bisphenol A.
  • the phosphonium trifluoroacetate salt catalysts employed herein can be in essentially pure form or they can be prepared in situ without purification other than filtration of solid precipitated by-products of the reaction between a tetrahydrocarbyl phosphonium compound and trifluoroacetic acid or a salt thereof.
  • Suitable phosphonium compounds which can be employed herein include, for example, those compounds having at least one phosphonium cation group repre ⁇ sented by the formula
  • each R is independently a hydrocarbyl or substi ⁇ tuted hydrocarbyl group having from.1 to 20, preferably from 1 to 6, carbon atoms or substituted hydrocarbyl groups. It is preferred that at least one, preferably two and most preferably three, of the R groups be an aromatic group i.e., an aryl group or an al aryl group such that the phosphorus atom is attached directly to the aromatic ring of such aryl or alkaryl group.
  • hydrocarbyl it is meant that the groups can be alkyl, aryl, alkaryl, or aralkyl and the alkyl can be either cyclic or acyclic.
  • substituted hydrocarbyl it is meant that the hydrocarbyl groups can contain one or more substituent groups such as, for example, Cl, Br, I, N0 2 , and mixtures thereof.
  • the R groups can contain any substituent group which will not deactivate the catalyst under the conditions in which they are employed.-
  • the phosphonium cation contain at least one aromatic ring and at least one alkyl group attached directly to a phosphorous atom.
  • Suitable anions include the halides, such as, for example, Cl, Br, and I, as well as carboxylates, dicarboxylates, phosphates, nitrates, sulfates, nitrites, sulfites, borates, chromates, and mixtures thereof.
  • the dihydric phenol and the glycidyl ether of a dihydric phenol are employed in quantities such that the theoretical percent epoxide of the resultant product has the desired value.
  • the quantity of catalyst will of course vary depending upon the particular catalyst employed; however, for most catalysts, from 0.1 to 1.5, preferably from 0.2 to 0.8, parts of catalyst by weight per 100 parts by weight of glycidyl ether of dihydric phenol can be employed.
  • the reaction conditions employed to prepare the advanced epoxy resins can vary, but temperatures of from 100°C to 200°C, preferably from 120°C to 160°C, are suitable. Lower temperatures usually require longer reaction times whereas higher temperatures usually require shorter reaction times.
  • the pressure employed is not particularly important and can be from about 1 mm Hg vacuum to 100 psig (0.1 to 791 kPa). However, it is usually preferred to employ pressures of from 5 psig to 20 psig (136 to 239 kPa).
  • curing agents can be employed in the present invention to cure the epoxy resins.
  • curing agents include, for example, amines, amides, guanidines, phenolic hydroxyl-containing materials, carboxylic acids, carboylic acid anhydrides, imidazoles, biguanides, and mixtures thereof.
  • Particulary suitable curing agents include, for example, guanidines such as for example, dicyan- diamide and tetramethyl guanidine and biguanides such as 1,6-xylene biguanide, polyhydric phenols, and mix ⁇ tures thereof.
  • guanidines such as for example, dicyan- diamide and tetramethyl guanidine
  • biguanides such as 1,6-xylene biguanide, polyhydric phenols, and mix ⁇ tures thereof.
  • the quantity of curing agent employed depends upon the particular curing agent employed and the properties desired in the resultant cured resin, all of which is well known by those persons reasonably skilled in the art and discussed in HANDBOOK OF EPOXY RESINS, by Lee and Neville, McGraw Hill, 1967.

  • the reaction condition (A) consists of heating the reaction mixture for one hour (3600 s) at the temperatures of 130°C, 140°C, 150°C and finally at 160°C for 2 hours (7200 s).
