Abstract

Abstract A liquid, epoxy resin composition suitable for use in fixation of a stator coil or a rotor coil is disclosed, which comprises (A) a mixture containing (a₁) a Bisphenol A epoxy resin and (a₂) an alicyclic epoxy resin; and (B) a curing agent including (b₁) an acid anhydride, and (b₂) a phenol compound of the general formula: wherein R¹ and R² represent independently from each other a lower alkyl, R³ represents a lower alkylene and n is an integer of 1-5, the amount of the phenol compound (b₂) being in the range of 2-8 % based on the weight of the mixture (A).

Claim 1
Independent Claim 82 words
A liquid, epoxy resin composition comprising: (A) a mixture containing (a₁) a Bisphenol A epoxy resin, and (a₂) an alicyclic epoxy resin; and (B) a curing agent including (b₁) an acid anhydride, and (b₂) a phenol compound of the general formula: wherein R¹ and R² represent independently from each other a lower alkyl, R³ represents a lower alkylene and n is an integer of 1-5, the amount of said phenol compound being 2-8 % based on the weight of the mixture (A).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 82 words
A liquid, epoxy resin composition comprising: (A) a mixture containing (a₁) a Bisphenol A epoxy resin, and (a₂) an alicyclic epoxy resin; and (B) a curing agent including (b₁) an acid anhydride, and (b₂) a phenol compound of the general formula: wherein R¹ and R² represent independently from each other a lower alkyl, R³ represents a lower alkylene and n is an integer of 1-5, the amount of said phenol compound being 2-8 % based on the weight of the mixture (A).
