Abstract
Abstract A novel epoxy resin composition is obtained by modifying a bisphenol-type epoxy resin and/or a halogen-containing epoxy resin with a trisphenol represented by the following general formula: <IMAGE> wherein each of R1 and R2 represents hydrogen or an alkyl group havng not more than 6 carbon atoms with the proviso that at least one of them is the alkyl group, each of R3, R4 and R5 represents hydrogen or an alkyl group having not more than 4 carbon atoms, and n represents a number of 0 or 1. The composition is suitable, for example, as a paint, a casting material or a molding material.
