Abstract
Abstract An epoxy-styrene-polyester solventless impregnating composition, having a long atmospheric catalyzed shelf life, is made by forming an unreacted admixture, at a temperature of between about 20° C to 35° C, consisting essentially of a liquid-solid epoxy resin mixture, liquid Nadic methyl anhydride, a liquid unsaturated reactive vinyl monomer, a polyester resin, a reaction catalyst and a reaction inhibitor.
