Abstract
Abstract For manufacturing molded and impregnated parts from epoxy resin compositions, a reactive epoxy resin is employed which hardens more slowly at higher temperatures (120° to 180° C.) than at lower temperatures (80° to 110° C.). The reactive epoxy resin composition is applied at the higher temperature and subsequently hardened at the lower temperature. According to the method of the invention, molded parts (e.g., solution pump heads), cast-in electrical components (e.g., four-ring stray field electrodes) and impregnated parts are manufactured.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
110 words
A method for casting-in or impregnating electrical components and for casting with epoxy resin compositions, comprising applying to a mold or component to be impregnated a reactive epoxy resin composition, comprised of an epoxy resin and a tertiary amine, at a temperature in the range of from about 120° C. to about 180° C., and hardening said resin composition at a temperature in the range of from about 80° C. to about 110° C., wherein said epoxy resin composition hardens more slowly in the temperature range of from about 120° C. to about 180° C. than at temperatures in the range of from about 80° C. to about 110° C.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
110 words
A method for casting-in or impregnating electrical components and for casting with epoxy resin compositions, comprising applying to a mold or component to be impregnated a reactive epoxy resin composition, comprised of an epoxy resin and a tertiary amine, at a temperature in the range of from about 120° C. to about 180° C., and hardening said resin composition at a temperature in the range of from about 80° C. to about 110° C., wherein said epoxy resin composition hardens more slowly in the temperature range of from about 120° C. to about 180° C. than at temperatures in the range of from about 80° C. to about 110° C.
