Abstract:
A MECANICALLY STABLE HEAT-RESISTANT EPOSY RESIN IS MADE BY REACTING BIS-(HYDROXYMETHYLPHENYL)ETHER WITH EPICHLOROHYDRIN. THIS PRODUCES AN EPOXY-RESIN MONOMER OR PREPOLYMER THAT MEY BE CURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH PRACTICES USUAL IN THE ART, YIELDING A CURED RESIN THAT EXHIBITS GOOD MECHANICAL STABILITY AND HEAT RESISTANCE.
Abstract:
A composite structure is disclosed which comprises a layer of glass cloth and a layer of mica paper impregnated and bonded together with a B-stage dephenyl oxide resin composition. The structure may be in the form of a tape or of a sheet and is used as insulation over electrical conductors. The dephenyl oxide composition preferably comprises a mixture of methoxy methyl diphenyl oxide and chloromethyl diphenyl oxide and a curing catalyst of finely divided silica containing a small amount of iron metal.
