  • Patent number: 7727426
    Abstract: Disclosed is an epoxy resin composition which is solid at ordinary room temperature, cures with excellent light resistance and heat resistance and minimal shrinkage, and is useful for encapsulating LEDs. The epoxy resin composition is characterized by comprising as an essential component an epoxy resin having an epoxy equivalent of 300-1000 g/eq and a softening point of 65-110° C. obtained by reacting a nonaromatic polycarboxylic acid (A) having an acid value of 100-250 mgKOH/g with a nonaromatic epoxy resin (B) having an epoxy equivalent of 100-400 g/eq. The nonaromatic polycarboxylic acid (A) may be obtained by reacting 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxycyclohexyl)propane, or 3,9-bis(1,1-dimethyl-2-hydroxyethyl)-2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5,5]undecane with methylhexahydrophthalic acid or hexahydrophthalic acid.

  • Patent number: 6933050
    Abstract: The present invention features phosphorus containing epoxy resin compositions useful for imparting flame retardant properties to prepregs, resin-clad metal foils, and laminate boards constructed therefrom. The phosphorus containing epoxy resin composition (a) comprises a phosphorus containing epoxy resin (A) and a hardener. The phosphorus containing epoxy resin (A) has an epoxy equivalent of 300-500 g/eq. and comprises the reaction product of a phosphorus containing organic compound (B) and at least one epoxy resin (C). Phosphorus containing compound (B) is the reaction product of organic phosphorus compounds (b) having one active hydrogen atom bonded to a phosphorus atom and a quinone compound, wherein the molar ratio of (b) to quinone is from 1.25:1 to 2:1. This molar excess of (b) yields a phosphorus containing compound (B) that comprises both the reaction product of (b) and quinone, as well as un-reacted (b).
