Abstract:
A method is described for producing liquid rubber containing an impact-resistance modifier terminated by epoxy groups, the method including the reaction of an isocyanate-terminated prepolymer with an epoxy resin, which includes an epoxy compound including a primary or secondary hydroxyl group, in the presence of a compound selected from anhydrides, ketones and aldehydes as glycol scavengers, wherein the isocyanate-terminated prepolymer, the epoxy resin and the glycol scavenger are mixed with one another, or the epoxy resin is reacted with the glycol scavenger, before they are mixed with the isocyanate-terminated prepolymer. Gelling in the reaction mixture is avoided by the method. The resulting products are suitable for improving the impact resistance of epoxy resin compositions, particularly one-component or two-component epoxy resin adhesives.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a curing agent component for use in a two-component epoxy adhesive made of a component A including an epoxy resin and a curing agent component B, wherein the curing agent component B1) includes at least one aliphatic alicyclic polyether amine with at least 2 amino groups and B2) at least one polyamine selected from a phenalkylamine or an aliphatic polyether amine, containing at least one alicyclic alkoxylate segment and at least one cycloaliphatic segment, and optionally B3) at least one amine compound selected from an amine-terminated rubber, an amine-terminated poly(tetramethylene ether glycol) and an amine-terminated poly(tetramethylene ether glycol)-poly(propylene glycol) copolymer.
Abstract:
An epoxy group-terminated impact modifier is described, comprising the reaction product of a) two or more polyols, b) one or more polyisocyanates, and c) at least one epoxy resin comprising a primary or secondary hydroxy group-containing epoxy compound, wherein the polyols comprise a1) at least one polyether polyol and a2) at least one OH-terminated rubber, wherein the weight ratio of polyether polyol to OH-terminated rubber is in the range from 7:3 to 2:8; an isocyanate-terminated prepolymer as possible intermediate product is described; furthermore a method for producing same is described. The products obtained are suitable for improving the impact resistance of epoxy resin compositions, in particular of 1K or 2K epoxy resin adhesives.
Abstract:
Heat-curing epoxy resin compositions are characterized by high impact strength, good storage stability, and a low curing temperature. The epoxy resin compositions are suitable for use as a construction shell adhesive and for producing structural foams. They can already be cured in so-called bottom-baking conditions. Furthermore, it has been found that the use of an accelerator of the formula (Ia) or (Ib) results in an increase of the impact strength of heat-curing epoxy resin compositions.
