Abstract

Abstract New polyepoxide-polysiloxanes, which are obtained by mixing in appropriately stoichiometric amounts, an adduct manufactured from a polyepoxide and an acid polyester or a polycarboxylic acid with a polysiloxane and esterifying the mixture, are described. The new compounds can be cured with conventional epoxide resin curing agents, especially cycloaliphatic polycarboxylic acid anhydrides, to give flexible to rubbery-elastic mouldings, which show very low water absorption coupled with excellent dielectric properties and high tracking resistance and arcing resistance.
