Abstract: The present invention relates to an epoxy resin system containing the reaction product of an epoxy resin component and an amine-based curing agent component comprising a first amine component and a second amine component, and a method for producing the epoxy resin system comprising combining an epoxy resin component with an amine-based curing agent component to form an initial epoxy resin composition, the amine-based curing agent component comprising a first amine component and a second amine component; and allowing a chemical reaction to occur between the amine-based curing agent component and the epoxy resin component to form a cured epoxy resin composition. The first amine component is N-(3-aminopropyl) cyclohexylamine and the second amine component is the hydrogenated product of oligomeric structure from the 4,4?-Methylenedianiline process.

Abstract: A bumper system for a loading dock includes an engagement member and a guide member mounted to the face of the dock. The guide member helps guide a vehicle toward the engagement member, which receives the primary impact of the vehicle backing into the dock. If the vehicle is excessively off to one side, the guide member of some embodiments may affect the operation of a dock leveler, vehicle restraint, dock seals, or a door associated with the loading dock. In some embodiments when the vehicle is off to one side the guide member may inhibit the vehicle from reaching the engagement member.
