Abstract

Abstract A flexible mica sheet is made by: (A) mixing solid and liquid epoxide resin in a dual solvent system, (B) adding an organo-titanate catalyst, and mixing to form a homogeneous admixture, (C) applying the admixture to a sheet material comprising mica, so that organo-titanate contacts the mica, causing organo-titanate to act as a latent catalyst, and (D) removing solvent, to form a flexible B staged epoxide resin containing an amount of organo-titanate effective to cure the epoxide in the sheet material heating.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 193 words
A flexible, void-free, high voltage capability, mica insulation sheet material, consisting essentially of mica and a contacting polymerizable, flexible, dry resinous composition consisting of a homogenous mixture of an epoxide resin and an amount of organo-titanate compound effective to cure the epoxide at temperatures of at least about 140° C; wherein the epoxide resin contains from about 95 to 99 weight percent solids and the organo-titanate compound is selected from the compounds having the structural formula Ti(OR) 4 , wherein each R group is independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl groups having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, aryl group, Cl, Br or NO 2 substituted aryl groups, alkaryl groups with the alkyl constituent having from about 1-10 carbon atoms, Cl, Br or NO 2 substituted alkaryl groups with the alkyl constituent having from about 1-10 carbons, alkaryl groups with the alkyl constituent having from about 1-10 carbon atoms, cyclopentane groups, cyclopentene groups, cyclopentadiene groups, cyclohexane groups, cyclohexene groups and cyclohexadiene groups and wherein the organo-titanate contacts mica causing the organo-titanate to act as a latent catalyst, said resinous composition being capable of fusion upon heating to form a cured, inflexible material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 193 words
A flexible, void-free, high voltage capability, mica insulation sheet material, consisting essentially of mica and a contacting polymerizable, flexible, dry resinous composition consisting of a homogenous mixture of an epoxide resin and an amount of organo-titanate compound effective to cure the epoxide at temperatures of at least about 140° C; wherein the epoxide resin contains from about 95 to 99 weight percent solids and the organo-titanate compound is selected from the compounds having the structural formula Ti(OR) 4 , wherein each R group is independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl groups having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, aryl group, Cl, Br or NO 2 substituted aryl groups, alkaryl groups with the alkyl constituent having from about 1-10 carbon atoms, Cl, Br or NO 2 substituted alkaryl groups with the alkyl constituent having from about 1-10 carbons, alkaryl groups with the alkyl constituent having from about 1-10 carbon atoms, cyclopentane groups, cyclopentene groups, cyclopentadiene groups, cyclohexane groups, cyclohexene groups and cyclohexadiene groups and wherein the organo-titanate contacts mica causing the organo-titanate to act as a latent catalyst, said resinous composition being capable of fusion upon heating to form a cured, inflexible material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 43 words
The sheet material of claim 1 wherein the mica insulation sheet is, supported by a backing selected from the groups consisting of paper, cotton fabric, linen fabric asbestos paper, glass cloth, glass fibers, mica paper, nylon fabric, polyethylene fabric and polyethylene terephthalate fabric.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 38 words
The sheet material of claim 2 wherein the epoxide is selected from the group consisting of bisphenol epoxides, epoxy novolacs and mixtures thereof, and 1 to 15 parts of organo-titanate is used per 100 parts of total epoxide.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 39 words
The sheet material of claim 2, wherein the epoxide is selected from the group consisting of cycloaliphatic epoxides, glycidyl ester epoxides and mixtures thereof and about 0.01 to 1 part of organo-titanate is used per 100 parts total epoxide.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 60 words
The sheet material of claim 2, wherein the epoxide is a mixture of (A) epoxides selected from the group consisting of cycloaliphatic epoxides, glycidyl ester epoxides and mixtures thereof with (B) epoxides selected from the groups consisting of bisphenol epoxides and epoxy novolacs, and wherein about 1 to 5 parts of organo-titanate is used per 100 parts total epoxide mixture.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 29 words
The sheet material of claim 2 wherein the organo-titanate has the structural formula Ti(OR) 4 , wherein R is selected from alkyl groups having from 1 to 10 carbons.
