Abstract
Abstract An epoxy resin composition for flexible products having excellent electrical and mechanical characteristics and having long pot-life is provided by incorporating (A) a liquid epoxy compound having 2 or more epoxy groups in one molecule, (B) an acid anhydride type hardener and (C) a reaction product obtained by reacting a phenoxy resin or a high molecular weight epoxy resin with a monohydric alcohol glycidyl ether and a metal salt of carboxylic acid.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
An epoxy resin composition for flexible products, which comprises: (a) from 40 to 80 parts by weight of a liquid epoxy compound having at least two epoxy groups in one molecule; (b) from 60 to 90 parts by weight of an acid anhydride hardener; and (c) from 60 to 20 parts by weight of a reaction product obtained by reacting from 1 to 30 parts by weight of a phenoxy resin component selected from the group consisting of a phenoxy resin and a combination of said phenoxy resin with a high molecular weight epoxy resin with 100 parts by weight of a monohydric alcohol glycidyl ether and a metal salt of a carboxylic acid, the ratio of said metal salt to the total amount of monoglycidyl ether and phenoxy resin component ranging from 0.2 to 1.0%.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
