Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
73 words
An adduct suitable for curing epoxy resins prepared by (A) reacting (1) an epoxy compound containing more than one vicinal epoxy group per molecule with (2) a primary monoamine in the chemical equivalent ratio of epoxy groups to amine groups from about 2:1 to about 5:4, and then (B) reacting the resulting condensate with a polyfunctional amine in the chemical equivalent ratio of epoxy to amine groups from about 1:1.25 to about 1:3.0.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
73 words
An adduct suitable for curing epoxy resins prepared by (A) reacting (1) an epoxy compound containing more than one vicinal epoxy group per molecule with (2) a primary monoamine in the chemical equivalent ratio of epoxy groups to amine groups from about 2:1 to about 5:4, and then (B) reacting the resulting condensate with a polyfunctional amine in the chemical equivalent ratio of epoxy to amine groups from about 1:1.25 to about 1:3.0.
