Abstract: Provided is an epoxy resin composition comprising: (A) an epoxy compound represented by the general formula (1): wherein R1 to R9 represent each independently a hydrogen atom, an acyclic or cyclic alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group or a halogen atom, (B) a polyfunctional epoxy compound having a functional group number of two or more, and (C) an epoxy curing agent containing a phenolic hydroxyl group, wherein the proportion of the epoxy compound (A) is from 1 to 99% by weight based on the total weight of the epoxy compounds (A) and (B), whereas the epoxy resin composition contains a pyrogenically produced silica, which has been surface modified with Hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) and structurally modified by a ball mill.

Abstract: The invention relates to coating compositions comprising A) 5.0% to 50.0% by weight of epoxy resins which constitute reaction products of bisphenol A and/or bisphenol F with epichlorohydrin, B) 5.0% to 55.0% by weight of water-dilutable epoxy resin hardeners, C) 0.1% to 10.0% by weight of fibres, D) 0% or 0.1% to 5.0% by weight of wax-based open-time extenders, E) 0% or 0.1% to 5.0% by weight of rheology additives, F) 5.0% to 70% by weight of fillers, G) 0% or 0.1% to 20.0% by weight of water and H) 0% to 70% by weight of further additives and/or processing assistants, the sum of the percentages by weight of components A) to H) making 100% by weight, and the rheology additive (component E) or the filler (component F) being replaced by a fumed silica which has been hydrophobicized with HMDS (hexamethyldisilazane) and subsequently structurally modified by means of a ball mill.

Abstract: Two-component composition for producing flexible polyurethane gelcoats The invention relates to the use of a two-component composition which comprises a polyol component, a polyisocyanate component and, as filler, a pyrogenically pre-pared silica which has been hydrophobicized with hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) and then structurally modified by means of a ball mill, for producing flexible polyurethane gelcoats for epoxy resin and vinyl ester composites.
