Abstract
Abstract A new system of epoxy resins and curing agents is disclosed which may be cured at low temperatures to yield polymeric materials capable of providing excellent binders for filled systems. The new combination exhibits a useful pot life, and cures at low temperatures to form a tough, dimensionally stable polymer.
