Description

3-15081i=/CGC 1096 Deathly Tulane Damon hardener systems Adduces from smins3 and moo- and diepoxides have long been Tad in industry a curing agents for epoxy resin. The advantages no the formation of such adduces include tower volatility, lower irritation potential or reduced tendency to blush and exude. Such adequate and the advantageff thereof are discussed in Lee and Seville, Handbook of Epoxy Resins, McGraw Hill ~1967). It it to be noted, Hoover that such adduces may not exhibit significant improvement Lo chemical resistance over that of their free amine counterpart.

More specifically, such adduces have been prepared from diethylen-thiamine with diglycidylether6 of bisphenol A of varying molecular weight. These epoxy resins have all exhibited a functionality of not more than two end have exhibited various improved performance characteri~ticss As previously noted, however, they have been deficient in the important characteristic of resistance to chemical attack, and primarily to solvent attack Likewise, ethylene dianiline-diglycidyl ether bi~phenol A it a preferred curing agent for heat r33istant epoxy resin compounds.
However, ethylene dianilin~ it conaldered a carcinogen by the environmental Protection Agency.

For example, U.S. Patent No. 3,655,624, 3,?04,281 and 3,~96,186 disclose adduces of triglycidyl i30cyanurate and Amy. Those adequate are solid in form, are noted for use -in molding maternal and are generally lnfer:Lo~ in terms of solvent ruttiness. Thus, these materials would have limited value as protective coatings.

I

Additionally, U.S. Patent JOB. 3,538,184, 3,625,918 and 3,629,181 disclose amine adduces which are based on epoxy resins of the bisphenol A Kyle or are alicyclic epoxy resin. While such adduces exhibit improved handling and mechanical properties, it it to be noted that the resins used therein have a functionality of not more than two and that the adduces are again deficl0nt in the important characteristic of resistance to chemical attack.

Other corresponding systems are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos.
3,996,175 and 4,348,505.

It is the primary object of this invention to prepare novel liquid adduces of dlethyl Tulane dlamine and do- and polyepoxides.

It is a further object to provide adduces for use as curing agents for epoxy and urethane resins.

It is still B further object to provide sunk curing agents which overcome the disadvantages of prior art curing agents when said curing agent are combined with a wide variety of epoxy and urethane resins.

It has now been surprisingly discovered that the preparation of deathly Tulane Damon adduce curing agents with epoxldes of functionality of at least two or urethanes enhances the performance characteristics of the cured epoxy and urethane product. Relative to epoxy resin, in contrast to thy free amine counterpart which requires an excessively long time to cure to a B-stage at room temperature because of it limited reactivity with epoxy resins, the instant adduce substantially shortens thy cure time without a significant reduction in physical properties. Formulated hardeners can be prepared from these adduces to cure At room temperature or to cure to a "B stage" at room temperature and reflow at elevated temperatures. Hardeners formulated from these adduces are specially useful in making heat cured laminate where a reflow Yates aide in obtaining optimum properties. Thy reflow hardener of this invention will cure to a semi-solid B stage at room temperature and the return to a liquid at an elevated temperature. When used in a laminate a reflow system allows the resin to thoroughly penetrate the fiber and avoid air pockets. The absence of air pocket allows the laminate to be used at higher temperatures with increased stability.
Additionally, such adduces are not viewed as carcinogens, sr0 non-staining and are liquid at room temperature.
