  • Patent number: 11859069
    Abstract: A reactive amine accelerator is prepared by reacting a primary or secondary aromatic amine with a diglycidyl ether and an ?,?-unsaturated carboxylic acid. The reactive amine accelerator can be used in a reactive resin, in particular based on an epoxy (meth)acrylate resin or a urethane (meth)acrylate resin. A reactive resin composition, in particular based on epoxy (meth)acrylate resin and urethane (meth)acrylate resin, which has an amine accelerator is useful. The amine accelerator is covalently incorporated into the polymer network.

  • Patent number: 11655320
    Abstract: A mixture includes at least two radically curable compounds as a backbone resin, and is useful in reactive resins. In particular, the mixture reduces the viscosity of such reactive resin-containing mixtures and thus the dispensing forces required for ejecting the reactive resin components produced therefrom. The mixture also increases the performance of the reactive resins containing such mixtures and of the reactive resin components produced therefrom. Further, said reactive resins and the reactive resin components thereof are useful for construction purposes, in particular for chemical fastening.

  • Patent number: 9994655
    Abstract: The invention relates to a resin mixture having a modified epoxy (meth)acrylate resin as the base resin, and optionally at least one reactive diluent, at least one stabilizer, and at least one accelerator, wherein the modified epoxy (meth)acrylate resin can be obtained by reacting organic compounds having epoxide groups with (meth)acrylic acid, and then by the partial esterification of the ?-hydroxyl-groups, the same formed during the reaction, with the anhydride of a saturated dicarboxylic acid, to reactive resin mortars containing the same, and to the use thereof for the purpose of chemical fastening, by means of which it is possible to manufacture products which are not subject to labeling requirements and which additionally provide high bond strength.

  • Publication number: 20150252146
    Abstract: A method is described for the production of modified epoxy (meth)acrylates, wherein organic compounds containing the epoxide groups are reacted with (meth)acrylic acid in the presence of a suitable catalyst, and after at least 80% of the epoxide groups have been reacted, the product is partially reacted with the anhydride of a saturated dicarboxylic acid. The epoxy (meth)acrylates which can be obtained in this manner can be used as binders in resin mixtures and reactive resin mortar compositions, for example for the purpose of chemical fastening.
