Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A 4-necked flask equipped with a stirrer, a reflux condenser and a thermocouple was charged with 150 parts of benzoguanamine, 50 parts of paraformaldehyde (formaldehyde content 95%) and 120 parts of water. The pH of the mixture was adjusted to 8.5 with a 10% aqueous solution of sodium carbonate. While agitating this mixture, its temperature was raised to 90° C., and its reaction was carried out for 5 hours to obtain an aqueous liquid of a soluble and fusible benzoguanamine-formaldehyde prepolymer. The prepolymer thus obtained is cooled to 50° C. and rapidly mixed with 100 part of acetone which has also been warmed to 500° C. The product is mixed with 3.0 parts of fluorescent dye Solvent Yellow 135 at temperature 40-50° C.
