Abstract
Abstract The resistance to thermal shock of anhydride cured epoxy resins is improved by the addition of a bis ureide of a polyoxyalkylene polyamine additive. The heat deflection properties of the epoxy resins are not appreciably compromised by the addition of the additive. The improved epoxy resin composition comprises a vicinal polyepoxide, an effective amount of a substituted bicyclic vicinal anhydride curing agent and an effective amount of a thermal shock resistance improving additive consisting essentially of a bis ureide of a polyoxyalkylene polyamine, said additive having an average molecular weight of at least 4,000.
