The molar ratio of the derivative of general formula (I), or of its mixture with the polyaminic derivative, to formaldehyde, or to the mixture of formaldehyde with the aldehyde of general formula (II), is comprised within the range of from 1:1 to 1:12.
The reaction is carried out at a pH value comprised within the range of from 7 to 12, possibly obtained by adding an alkali (such as, for example, potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, and so forth), at temperatures comprised within the range of from 20.degree. C. the boiling point of the solvent, until a finely subdivided dispersion is obtained;
(b) causing the resulting reaction product, constituted by the alkylol derivative, to turn into a resin by acidifying it to a pH value comprised within the range of from 1 to 5, by means of the addition of an acid (such as, e.g., sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, and so forth) and heating it to a temperature comprised within the range of from 40.degree. C. to the boiling point of the solvent. The resulting dispersion is kept further stirred at the selected temperature, during the necessary time to complete the resinification process, preferably of from 1 to 12 hours. The residual acidity of the resulting mixture is then neutralized with a base selected from those as suggested hereinabove, and the resulting product is filtered off.
The resin is first dried at 100.degree. C., then is submitted to thermal treatment for some hours, preferably from 1 to 3 hours, in a vacuum oven at 150.degree. C.
In general good quality aminoplastic resins are obtained as white crystalline powders, which are insoluble in water and can be used in self-extinguishing polymeric compositions without any further purification.
An alternative synthesis method consists in causing the reactions of the above (a) and (b) steps to take place in one single step, at a pH value comprised within the range of from 1 to 5, and at a higher temperature than 40.degree. C.
Many of derivatives of 2,4,6-triamino-1,3,5-triazine of general formula (I) are known; they can anyway be easily synthetized according to as disclosed in European Patent application publication No. 415 371, to the same Applicant's name.
