Abstract
Synthetic resins such as absorption resins which have been cross-linked with a molecule having pendant double bonds which reacted with a reactive molecule such as molecular halogen, to eliminate unreacted pendant double bonds present in the resin. This method renders the resin less susceptible to runaway thermal reactions which can cause the resin to burn.
Claims7
A method for reducing the pyrophoric behavior of a synthetic resin which resin has been prepared with greater than 20 percent of divinylbenzene, said method comprising conditioning the resin such that the number of dobule bonds present in the resin is substantially reduced.
