  • SILANE/UREA COMPOUND AS A HEAT-ACTIVATED CURING AGENT FOR EPOXIDE RESIN COMPOSITIONS
    Publication number: 20140216655
    Abstract: Silanes of formula (I): or inorganic fillers whose surface is coated or derivatized with a silane of formula (I), are curing agents for epoxy resins that are activatable at elevated temperature. The thermosetting epoxy resin compositions allow a large reduction in the curing temperature without great impairment of their storage stability. They are therefore very well suited for single-component thermosetting epoxy adhesives, which in particular may contain impact modifiers.
