Abstract
Abstract Imide-amines having the structure ##STR1## wherein ##STR2## are certain cycloaliphatic or aromatic groups and R and R individually are hydrogen, halogen, an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, hydroxy, carboxyl, and amine and when taken together represent ##STR3## wherein R 2 is the same as R and R 1 , have been found to provide cured epoxy resin systems characterized by high temperature stability and excellent mechanical and physical properties.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
148 words
A room temperature-stable two-pack epoxy resin system consisting essentially of (a) a first pack comprising at least one imide-imine having the structure ##STR21## wherein -- 1 -- is a divalent cycloaliphatic or aromatic radical selected from the group consisting of ##STR22## is a tetravalent cycloaliphatic or aromatic radical selected from the group consisting of ##STR23## R and R 1 can be the same or different and each is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, hydroxyl, carboxyl and amine and when taken together, R and R 1 are: ##STR24## wherein R 2 is the same as R and R 1 ; with the proviso that, in all cases, ##STR25## (b) a second pack comprising an epoxy resin substantially free of active hydrogen having a 1,2 epoxy equivalent value of greater than 1 and capable of solubilizing said imide-amine.
