Abstract
Abstract A highly heat resistant transparency of epoxy resins cured with adducts of trimethoxyboroxine and benzyl alcohol is disclosed. This transparency may exist in a composite with other layers of transparent material known to those skilled in the art. The epoxy resin having the trimethoxyboroxine and benzyl alcohol may also have triphenyl phosphite which further increases the resistance to intense heat for these transparencies in their use on military and industrial hardware.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
50 words
A transparent composition having resistance to intense heat, comprising: a transparent blend having (a) from 80 parts to about 100 parts of an epoxy resin; (b) from 7.5 parts to about 30 parts of trimethoxyboroxine; and (c) from 1 part to about 10 parts of a phenyl substituted alkyl alcohol.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
50 words
A transparent composition having resistance to intense heat, comprising: a transparent blend having (a) from 80 parts to about 100 parts of an epoxy resin; (b) from 7.5 parts to about 30 parts of trimethoxyboroxine; and (c) from 1 part to about 10 parts of a phenyl substituted alkyl alcohol.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
A transparent composite, wherein said transparent blend according to claim 1 is contiguously sandwiched between transparent materials selected from the group consisting of acrylic, polycarbonate, polyurethane and silicate glass and combinations thereof, to produce a composite transparency having an inside ply and an outside ply.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
13 words
A transparent composite according to claim 2, wherein said alcohol is benzyl alcohol.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
A transparent composite according to claim 3, wherein said trimethoxyboroxine conprises about 10 parts and said benzyl alcohol comprises about 3 parts.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
80 words
A transparent composition having resistance to intense heat, comprising a transparent blend having (a) from 80 parts to about 100 parts of an epoxy resin; (b) from 7.5 parts to about 30 parts of trimethoxyboroxine; (c) from 1 part to about 10 parts of a phenyl substituted alkyl alcohol; and (d) from 5 parts to about 25 parts of a phosphite selected from the group consisting of diphenyl phosphite, trisnonylphenyl phosphite, triphenyl phosphite, diphenylisodecyl phosphite, diphenylisooctyl phosphite and phenyldiisodecyl phosphite.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
80 words
A transparent composition having resistance to intense heat, comprising a transparent blend having (a) from 80 parts to about 100 parts of an epoxy resin; (b) from 7.5 parts to about 30 parts of trimethoxyboroxine; (c) from 1 part to about 10 parts of a phenyl substituted alkyl alcohol; and (d) from 5 parts to about 25 parts of a phosphite selected from the group consisting of diphenyl phosphite, trisnonylphenyl phosphite, triphenyl phosphite, diphenylisodecyl phosphite, diphenylisooctyl phosphite and phenyldiisodecyl phosphite.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
44 words
A transparent composite, wherein said transparent blend according to claim 5 is contiguously sandwiched between transparent materials selected from the group consisting of acrylic, polycarbonate, polyurethane, silicate glass, and combinations thereof, to produce a composite transparency having an inside ply and an outside ply.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
13 words
A transparent composite according to claim 6, wherein said alcohol is benzyl alcohol.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
13 words
A transparent composite according to claim 7 wherein said phosphite is triphenyl phosphite.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
30 words
A transparent composite according to claim 8, wherein said trimethoxyboroxine comprises about 10 parts, wherein benzyl alcohol comprises about 3 parts, and wherein said triphenyl phosphite comprises about 10 parts.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
19 words
A transparent composite according to claims 2 or 6, wherein acrylic comprises said outside ply of said composite transparency.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
39 words
A transparent composite according to claim 10, wherein said inside ply is composed of a silicone interlayer, a silicate layer, a polyvinyl butyral interlayer, and a silicate layer, a silicone interlayer and a polycarbonate layer in contiguous relationship, respectively.
