Abstract:
The invention relates to epoxy resin compositions, containing a) epoxy resins and b) at least one 2-oxo-[1,3]dioxolane derivative of formula (I), wherein one or two of groups R1 to R4 stand for an electron withdrawing organic group having 1 to 20 C atoms or an electron withdrawing heteroatom and the other groups R1 to R4 stand independently of one another for an H atom or a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 C atoms.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a hardenable composition of epoxy resins, reactive thinning agents containing epoxy groups and the hardener 2,2',6,6'-tettramethyl-4,4'-methylene-bis(cyclohexylamine), the hardening of the composition and the thus obtained hardened epoxy resin, in addition to the corresponding use of 2,2',6,6'-tetramethyl-4,4'-methylene-bis(cyclohexylamine) as a hardener for epoxy resins in hardenable compositions with reactive thinning agents containing epoxy groups.
Abstract:
A shaped body comprising at least one solid material and a cured epoxy resin wherein the cured epoxy resin is prepared from an epoxy resin composition containing at least one epoxy resin having at least one epoxy group per molecule; at least one curing agent selected from cyanoalkylated polyamines of formula (A) A(NH—X—CN), wherein A is a group selected from aryl, arylalkyl, alkyl, and cycloalkyl, wherein A does not contain a primary amino group, X is alkylene having 1 to 10 C-atoms, and n≧2; and at least one accelerator selected from tertiary amines, imidazoles, guanidines, urea compounds, and Lewis acids.
Abstract:
A curable composition comprises a) at least one epoxide compound E having at least two epoxide groups; b) at least one amine A having at least two amine hydrogens; and c) at least one acrylic ester U; and the epoxide compound E comprises at least one epoxide compound E', the amine A comprises at least one amine A and the acrylic ester U comprises at least one acrylic ester IT whose Hansen solubility parameters for the dipole forces δ ρ and for the specific interactions δ h satisfy the following conditions: (I) and (II). Suitably choosing the Hansen solubility parameters of the constituents ensures that the acrylic ester is incorporated covalently into the curing material, preventing subsequent evaporation of the diluent.
Abstract:
A process for curing epoxy resins which comprises curing epoxy resin compositions comprising a) epoxy resins and b) a compound of the general formula I in which R 1 and R 2 independently of one another are hydrogen, C 1 -C 6 -alkyl, C 1 -C 4 -alkoxy-C 1 -C 4 -alkyl, C 5 -C 6 -cycloalkyl, phenyl, phenyl-C 1 -C 4 -alkyl, C 2 -C 6 -alkenyl or C 2 -C 6 -alkynyl, or R 1 and R 2 together are a C 3 -C 11 -alkylene group; R 3 and R 4 independently of one another are hydrogen, C 1 -C 6 -alkyl, C 1 -C 4 -alkoxy-C 1 -C 4 -alkyl, C 5 -C 6 -cycloalkyl, phenyl, phenyl-C 1 -C 4 -alkyl, C 2 -C 6 -alkenyl or C 2 -C 6 -alkynyl, or R 3 and R 4 together are a C 4 -C 6 -alkylene group; by adding amino hardeners, 0.1% to 50% by weight of the amino hardeners being aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic amine compounds having 1 to 4 primary amino groups and optionally further functional groups, selected from secondary amino groups, tertiary amino groups, and hydroxyl groups, the primary amino groups in the case of the cycloaliphatic and aromatic amine compounds being attached as aminomethylene groups (H 2 N-CH 2 -) to the cycloaliphatic or aromatic ring system (referred to below for short as co-hardeners).
Abstract:
The invention relates to the acceleration of the hardening of compositions of epoxy compounds and amino or anhydrid hardeners by adding highly-branched polyetheramines. Said highly branched polyetheramines can comprise terminal hydroxy groups (polyols) and/or amino groups (amino-modified). Said amino-modified highly branched polyetheramines can be obtained by subsequent modification of the terminal hydroxy groups of highly branched polyetheramine polyols.
