Abstract

Abstract A process for the accelerated cure of an epoxy resin is disclosed. The resulting epoxy resin may be used in protective coatings, adhesives, seamless and terrazo flooring and caulking and sealing compositions. The resulting resin system is also useful, for example, in casting, potting, in escapulating, grouting and patching. The process involves mixing an epoxy resin of the polyhydric phenol, polyglycidyl ether type with a novel accelerator-hardener which is a condensation product of phenol, formaldehyde and an aminoalkylene derivative of a polyoxyalkylenepolyamine.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim 41 words
A process for curing epoxy resins comprising: mixing an epoxy resin with about a stoichiometric amount of a condensation product of phenol, formaldehyde and an aminoalkylene derivative of a polyoxyalkylenepolyamine made by reacting a polyoxyalkylene polyamine with acrylonitrile followed by hydrogenation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 41 words
A process for curing epoxy resins comprising: mixing an epoxy resin with about a stoichiometric amount of a condensation product of phenol, formaldehyde and an aminoalkylene derivative of a polyoxyalkylenepolyamine made by reacting a polyoxyalkylene polyamine with acrylonitrile followed by hydrogenation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 19 words
A process as in claim 1 wherein the curing takes place from about 0° C. to about 45° C.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 20 words
A process as in claim 2 wherein a post cure is employed at a temperature up to about 200° C.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 20 words
A process as in claim 1 wherein the aminoalkylene derivative of a polyoxyalkylenepolyamine is an aminopropylene derivative of a polyoxypropylenepolyamine.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 43 words
A process for curing epoxy resins comprising: mixing an epoxy resin with about a stoichiometric amount of a condensation product of a phenolic compound, an aldehyde and an aminoalkylene derivative of a polyoxyalkylenepolyamine made by reacting a polyoxyalkylenepolyamine with acrylonitrile followed by hydrogenation.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 43 words
