Abstract:
Aromatic dicyanate compounds which comprise aliphatic moieties having at least about six carbon atoms and resins and thermoset products based on these compounds.
Abstract:
A masterblend comprising a solvent and a core shell rubber which is formed by dispersing a core shell rubber in the solvent in a dispersion zone is disclosed. The masterblend can then be admixed with a thermosetting resin to form a curable composition.
Abstract:
A novel low viscosity epoxide having the following general Structure (I): Structure (I) wherein R1 and R2 can be, but is not limited to, hydrogen or a hydrocarbon group having from C1 to about C20 carbon atoms; with the proviso that R1 and R2 are not both hydrogen.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure include a hardener compound for curing with an epoxy resin, where the hardener compound includes a copolymer having a first constitutional unit of the formula (I), a second constitutional unit of the formula (II), and a third constitutional unit of the formula (III), where each q, n and m is independently a positive integer; each b is independently selected from the group of 6, 8, 10 and 12; each Y is independently an organic group; and each R is independently selected from the group of a hydrogen, an organic group and a halogen. Embodiments of the present disclosure include an epoxy system that includes the hardener compound and an epoxy resin.
Abstract:
A curable resin composition including (I) at least one thermoset resin composition; and (II) at least one hardener; wherein the powder coating has a balance of properties including a combination of high glass transition temperature and low water absorption.

Abstract:
A curable composition comprising (a) at least one low viscosity epoxide resin compound having the following chemical structure: (I) wherein R1 and R2 are hydrogen or a hydrocarbon group having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, with the proviso that R1 and R2 are not both hydrogen, and (b) at least one curing agent or UV photoinitiator; and a thermoset prepared from the above curable composition.
Abstract:
A fabricated article (e.g., jacketed or insulated wire or cable) is prepared by a process comprising the steps of: applying a coating of a moisture-curable composition onto a wire or cable; and reacting the moisture-curable composition with water, wherein the moisture-curable composition comprises at least one resin having hydrolysable reactive silane groups and a tin catalyst characterized by the tin having a +4 oxidation state and a bis(alkoxide) ligand. The product of the process includes a wire or cable comprising a jacket, wherein the jacket comprises at least one poly olefin resin having hydrolysable reactive silane groups and a tin catalyst, the tin catalyst having a bis(alkoxide) ligand and characterized by the tin having a +4 oxidation state. The product of the process also includes a wire or cable comprising a jacket wherein the jacket comprises (i) the reaction product of at least one polyolefin resin having hydrolysable reactive silane groups and water, and (ii) at least one tin catalyst, the tin catalyst having a bis(alkoxide) ligand and characterized by the tin having a +4 oxidation state.
