Abstract:
A process for preparing a curing agent for epoxy resins, in which an amine mixture including at least one parent amine of the formula (I) and at least one alkylated amine of the formula (II) is reacted or adducted with at least one glycidyl ether of the formula (III). The amine mixture is especially a reaction mixture from the partial alkylation of the amine of the formula (I). The process described enables, with low energy expenditure and high space-time yield, curing agents of low odor, low toxicity, low viscosity and high reactivity for epoxy resins and epoxy resin products that cure rapidly at ambient temperatures and especially also under cold conditions and at the same time enable high-quality coatings having an even, shiny surface.
Abstract:
An epoxy resin composition, the curing components of which contain at least one amine of formula (I) and optionally at least one amine A which is, in particular, an adduct of a polyamine and an epoxide. The amine for formula (I) is used in particular in the form of a reaction product of the reductive alkylation of 1,2-ethylenediamine and an aldehyde or ketone. The epoxy resin composition is used in particular as a low-emission, room-temperature-curing epoxy-resin coating. It is characterised by good processibility, quick curing, high hardness, a nice surface and a low tendency to yellowing.
Abstract:
The use of an amine of formula (I) as a component of a hardener for epoxy resins, hardeners for epoxy resins containing the amine of formula (I), and resultant epoxy resin compositions which can particularly be used as low-emission room-temperature-curing epoxy-resin coatings with high hardness and surface quality. The amine of formula (I) is low-odour and a very successful diluent for epoxy resin compositions. It is particularly obtained by reductive alkylation from 1,2-ethylenediamine or 1,2-propylenediamine and an aldehyde or ketone.
Abstract:
An amine of formula (I) which is particularly suitable for use as a curing agent for epoxy resins. The amine of formula (I) is devoid of non-incorporable toxic phenols, and is low-viscosity and pale in colour. It allows the production of easily-workable, low-emission or emission-free epoxy resin products which cure rapidly even at relatively low ambient temperatures thus obtaining a high degree of hardness and a nice surface with hardly any yellowing. This is particularly suited to use in floor or top coatings.
Abstract:
A composition containing two different silane-functional polymers, only one of the two polymers having terminal groups of formula (I). The composition has a surprisingly rapid skin forming time and low viscosity, crosslinks quickly even without the use of EHS-critical catalysts such as organotin compounds or DBU, and cures to a non-sticky material with good strength and elasticity. Also relates to a method for accelerating the curing of a silane-crosslinking composition by adding to it a further silane-functional polymer having terminal groups of formula (I).
Abstract:
Curing agents for epoxy resins, containing at least one adduct of a primary diamine and an aromatic monoepoxide, at least one primary diamine and at least one secondary diamine which is free of primary amino groups and free of hydroxyl groups, are disclosed. The curing agent is of low viscosity and cures, together with epoxy resins, rapidly and without blushing, even under damp, cold conditions, to form films of high hardness and low brittleness. It is particularly well suited for low-emission coatings that cure at room temperature.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an amine of the formula (I) which is an adduct of 1,2-propylenediamine with an aryl monoglycidyl ether, to the use thereof as part of a hardener for epoxy resins, and to epoxy resin compositions obtained therewith. The amine of the formula (I) is preparable in a simple process in high purity, is of very low viscosity and is especially suitable for the curing of epoxy resins. It allows low-emission epoxy resin compositions which have good workability and which cure even under cold and damp conditions, quickly and without blushing effects, to form very hard products of high surface quality that display virtually no yellowing on exposure to light.
Abstract:
A method for producing a hot melt adhesive containing silane groups, in which at least one polyurethane polymer which contains isocyanate groups and is solid at room temperature is reacted with at least one hydroxysilane that is devoid of urea and thiourethane groups. The hot melt adhesive containing silane groups obtained from the method allows a low hazard classification, has a good degree of thermal resistance when melted such that, even upon application under prolonged heating, it does not tend towards premature thickening, releases no unpleasant odours, and crosslinks at room temperature without bubbles under the influence of moisture, resulting in an optically and mechanically high-quality and resistant adhesive connection.
Abstract:
A condensation product of at least one (hydroxymethyl)phenol and at least one polyoxyalkylene diamine and a process for the preparation thereof and the use thereof in the curing of epoxy resin systems are described.
Abstract:
A hem-curing epoxy resin composition, that includes an epoxy resin A having more than one epoxy group per molecule on average; a curing agent B for epoxy resins, which is activated at a temperature in a range of 100° C. to 220° C.; and an activator C for epoxy resin compositions, wherein activator C is a compound of formula (I), or is a reaction product between a compound of formula (Ia) and an isocyanate or an epoxide.
