The present invention relates to a
continuous manufacturing method for obtaining high-purity
alkylphenol novolac resins with high yield and without loss by using a Short Path Distillator (SPD), which is an advanced thin-film distiller with a built-in condenser, to feed general-purpose
alkylphenol novolac resins as a feed liquid (
raw material), thereby obtaining unreacted
phenol monomers including
alkylphenol monomers that are raw materials for these resins as
distillation components, and simultaneously removing these
phenol monomers as residual components to 0.1 weight% or less. The invention also relates to a composition containing the same. To this end, the present invention specifies in detail the form and structure of an advanced type of SPD facility, and in addition to general matters, specifies the form of the internal condenser, the form and material of the internal rotating body, and the input and output facilities for
continuous production. In addition, SPD
process conditions such as
evaporator temperature, condenser temperature,
vacuum level, feed rate, and internal rotor rotation speed were presented to maximize the yield and purity of high-purity alkylphenol novolak resin while avoiding
thermal deformation and minimizing commercial losses due to excess conditions, and the characteristics of the high-purity alkylphenol novolak obtained through this were specified. In addition, the obtained high-purity alkylphenol novolak resin was applied to rubber and tire compositions and
copper clad laminate compositions to demonstrate the improved properties of these compositions.
