Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to epoxy resins which can be cured at ambient or slightly elevated temperature. The compositions can be used as adhesives and also as structural material. The epoxy resins of the invention retain advantageous characteristics at elevated temperatures, up to about 120 DEG C. The compositions are advantageously supplied as two-pack kits which are contacted with each other when the epoxy resin is to be used. The first component is a mixture of at least two epoxides; the second component is a curing system which contains at least two amines. The components are: A. epoxies: (1) a tetraglycidyl diamino-diaromatic alkane (2) a triglycidyl ether of an amino aromatic alkane B. amines: (1) a polyalkylene polyamine (2) an amino-terminated or carboxy terminated alkadiene rubber compound.
