reference polymer pellets water and acid are added to a parr vessel the vessel is sealed and then heated with continuous mixing to the set temperature over a period of about 30 minutes the temperature is maintained for another 30 minutes and the reactor is then allowed to cool to about room temperature which takes about 1 hour table 1 illustrates the set temperature the acid type melt index mi of the resin weight percent polyetheramine pea based on the weight of the water acid and polyetheramine weight percentage of the acid based on the weight of polyetheramine ph conductivity percent solids measured by a cem labwave 9000 microwave moisture solids analyzer and viscosity the concentrations of the acids used are as follows 100 acetic acid 85 by weight lactic acid and 85 by weight phosphoric acid thus if 3 5 g of lactic acid solution is u2014 combined with 10 0 g of polyetheramine this is considered a 30 0 85 35 lactic acid concentration a polyetheramine is prepared by reacting the digylcidyl ether of bisphenol a der u2122 332 resin a trademark of the dow chemical company and resorcinol diglycidyl ether with monoethanolamine at a weight weight weight ratio of 41 41.
