Abstract: A process for the preparation of molded bodies and coatings which comprises reacting at least one epoxy compound containing more than one 1,2-epoxy group per molecule alone or in combination with at least one monoepoxide, with at least one substituted amine of formula ##STR1## which contains no free phenols and in which R.sup.1 is hydrogen or methyl,R.sup.2 is a radical of at least one of formulae ##STR2## and R.sup.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of tertiary aliphatic amines containing an alkyl or alkenyl radical having 8 to 24 carbon atoms and at least one methyl group by reacting a liquid alcohol or aldehyde having 8 to 24 carbon atoms in the presence of a copper-chromium oxide catalyst with a gaseous mixture containing hydrogen and a lower primary or secondary alkyl amine having at least one methyl group, the amine proportion of the gas mixture being in the range of from 1 to 20% by volume, eliminating the water having been formed in the reaction from the gaseous mixture, and recirculating the gaseous mixture continuously back into the liquid alcohol or aldehyde.
