Reaction Steps

The epoxy compounds may also be derived from mononuclear phenols, such as resorcinol or hydroquinone; or else they are based on polynuclear phenols, such as on bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)methane, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, 2,2-bis(3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxyphenyl)propane or 4,4′-dihydroxydiphenyl sulfone, or on condensates of phenols with formaldehyde that are obtained under acidic conditions, such as phenol novolaks.
