Abstract: | Reaction products of melamine and formaldehyde can be modified by treatment with N -diethyl-trimethylsilyl-amine to yield materials, which are soluble in organic solvents and can easily be fractionated by gel permeation chromatography. Moreover, gel permeation chromatography is used for the quantitative investigation of the course of the sodium-hydroxyde catalysed methylolation of melamine. For this purpose the differential refractometer is calibrated to the corresponding peak area in the chromatograms. In the quantitative determination of the methylolation reaction of melamine in alkaline aqueous solution a difference between the injected and the amount calculated from calibration data was observed. This difference is caused by the presence of polyoxymethylene glycols in the methylolmelamines. Polyoxymethylene glycols are also found in technical melamine-formaldehyde resins. |
