Patent number: 5596030Abstract: A new epoxy hardener composition is the product of the reaction of (A) a poly(alkylene oxide) monoamine or diamine with a molecular weight (Mn) of about 500 to 3000 and (B) a di- or polycarboxylic acid, in a ratio of moles of carboxylic acid to equivalents of amine of about 1:1 to 6:1 to yield an intermediate (C), which in a second step is reacted with (D) a di- or polyamine. The compositions of the invention are excellent emulsifiers of liquid epoxy resins in aqueous media without the addition of added surfactants or acidic compounds, and can be used to prepare water resistant water-borne coatings and related products from both liquid and solid epoxy resins, that possess long pot lives and contain relatively small amounts of volatile organic compounds.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 1995Date of Patent: January 21, 1997Assignee: Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.Inventor: Frederick H. Walker

Patent number: 5591812Abstract: A curable epoxy resin composition comprising a polyepoxide resin and an amine curative characterized in that the amine curative comprises (a) the reaction product of excess monomethylamine (MMA) and an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic polyglycidyl ether and (b) an amine curative. When a diglycidyl ether is used in the reaction the resulting product can be described by the following structure: ##STR1## where R is an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic organic radical and m is 0-3.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 1996Date of Patent: January 7, 1997Assignee: Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.Inventor: William E. Starner

Patent number: 5583167Abstract: Provided are epoxy curing agents comprising the reaction product of reactants consisting essentially of an alkylene polyamine having less than about 12 carbon atoms, an aromatic mono-glycidyl ether having less than about 18 carbon atoms, and a diglycidyl ether of an aromatic diol having an average degree of oligomerization of less than about 3.5, wherein the ratio of primary amine equivalents of said alkylene polyamine to the total epoxide equivalents of said aromatic glycidyl ether and said diglycidyl ether of an aromatic diol is not essentially less than one, and the ratio of epoxide equivalents of said aromatic mono-glycidyl ether to epoxide equivalents of said diglycidyl ether of an aromatic diol is greater than one.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 1993Date of Patent: December 10, 1996Assignee: Henkel CorporationInventors: Jason L. Chou, Shailesh Shah, Brian G. Jewell, Robert M. Moon

Patent number: 5548058Abstract: A curing agent for epoxy resins is prepared from an amine and an epoxy, as well as subsequent modification by a polyisocyanate compound, in such a manner that the curing agent is in the form of small spherical particles. The particles can be as small as 0.1 microns. This curing agent can be easily dispersed in curing agent masterbatches and curable compositions with minimal effect on their storage stability. The resulting curable compositions have a wide range of applications, including automobile and electronic adhesives.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1995Date of Patent: August 20, 1996Assignee: W. R. Grace & Co.-Conn.Inventors: Souichi Muroi, Hsi-Chuan Tsai

Patent number: 5527839Abstract: A new epoxy hardener composition is the product of the reaction of (A) a poly(alkylene oxide) monoalcohol with a molecular weight (Mn) of about 500 to 3000 and (B) a polyepoxide, in a molar ratio of polyepoxide to poly(alkylene oxide) monoalcohol of about 1.3:1 to 6:1 to yield an intermediate (C), which in a second step is reacted with (D) a polyamine. The compositions of the invention are excellent emulsifiers of liquid epoxy resins in aqueous media without the addition of added surfactants or acidic compounds, and can be used to prepare water resistant water-borne coatings and related products from both liquid and solid epoxy resins, that possess long pot lives and contain relatively small amounts of volatile organic compounds.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 1994Date of Patent: June 18, 1996Assignee: Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.Inventor: Frederick H.
