Abstract

Phosphoric acid is reacted with mono- or polyfunctional epoxides containing methyol or alkoxymethyl groups, to provide resins which are curable simply by heating and contain as much as about 30 weight percent of phosphoric acid. Improved flame retardancy and water resistance are imparted to structural foams by impregnating them with these resins and curing in-situ.
