Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
105 words
A hardener for an epoxy resin, comprising the product resulting from the elimination of at least one mole of water per acid equivalent from a mixture of: 90 to 60 parts of at least one unsaturated monomeric fatty acid having at least 12 carbon atoms, 10 to 40 parts of an acid having a molecular weight less than 200 20 to 80 parts of a tetraethylene pentamine, and 80 to 20 parts of isophorone diamine, the relative proportions of all the acid products with respect to all the amine products being from 1 to 2 gram equivalents of acid function per gram molecule of amine.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
105 words
A hardener for an epoxy resin, comprising the product resulting from the elimination of at least one mole of water per acid equivalent from a mixture of: 90 to 60 parts of at least one unsaturated monomeric fatty acid having at least 12 carbon atoms, 10 to 40 parts of an acid having a molecular weight less than 200 20 to 80 parts of a tetraethylene pentamine, and 80 to 20 parts of isophorone diamine, the relative proportions of all the acid products with respect to all the amine products being from 1 to 2 gram equivalents of acid function per gram molecule of amine.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
A hardener according to claim 1 wherein the unsaturated monomeric fatty acid is oleic acid.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
A hardener according to claim 1 wherein the acid having a molecular weight less than 200 is acrylic acid, propionic acid, benzoic acid or adipic acid.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
A hardener according to claim 1 wherein the unsaturated monomeric fatty acid is replaced up to 70% by weight by at least one polymeric fatty acid.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
15 words
A hardener according to claim 4 wherein the polymeric fatty acid is dimeric linoleic acid.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
An aqueous emulsion of a hardener according to claim 1 comprising 30 to 95% hardener and preferably a solvent for said hardener of alcohol type.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
19 words
An aqueous solution of a hardener according to claim 1 comprising 30 to 95% hardener and preferably an alcohol.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
41 words
Method of preparing a hardener for epoxy resin according to claim 1 comprising heating the mixture of acids and amines, with stirring, to a temperature of at least 160° C, and removing the water, formed by reaction, from the reaction medium.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
37 words
Method according to claim 8, wherein the temperature is preferably 160° to 180° C and the reaction is continued until a gram molecule of water is eliminated per gram equivalent of acid function present at the beginning.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
38 words
Method of hardening an epoxy resin comprising reacting a quantity of a hardener according to claim 1 containing a gram equivalent of aminated hydrogen with a quantity of epoxy resin containing approximately 1 gram equivalent of epoxide oxygen.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
18 words
Method according to claim 10 wherein the hardener is used in the form of aqueous emulsions or solutions.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
19 words
Method of use according to claim 10 wherein the epoxy resin is previously made into an emulsion in water.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
19 words
Method according to claim 12 wherein the epoxy resin emulsion contains at least one filler, pigment and/or modifying agent.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
13 words
Coatings obtained by hardening epoxy resins according to the process of claim 10.
