Abstract: The present invention provides an amine based epoxy resin curing agent and an epoxy resin composition containing the curing agent. The epoxy resin composition has a high gas barrier performance, a long pot life, and utility as a coating material or an adhesive for laminates.

Abstract: The present invention provides an amine based epoxy resin curing agent containing an epoxy resin and an amine compound capable of imparting a high gas barrier performance and a long pot life, in addition to excellent performances which an epoxy resin conventionally possesses, and an epoxy resin composition with a high gas barrier performance and a long pot life, which contains the subject curing agent. Also, the present invention provides an adhesive for laminate with excellent adhesiveness to various polymers, papers, metals, etc., which contains, as a main component, an epoxy resin composition containing an amine based resin curing agent with a high gas barrier performance and a long pot life.

Abstract: A laminated film including at least a substrate, a primer layer, an adhesive layer and a sealant layer which are laminated in this order. The adhesive layer is formed by curing an adhesive containing an epoxy composition composed of an epoxy resin and an epoxy resin-curing agent as a main component. The cure product contains the skeletal structure represented by the following formula 1: in an amount of 40% by weight or higher. The primer layer contains at least one primer resin selected from the group consisting of polyester-based resins, polyurethane-based resins, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer-based resins, rosin-based resins, polyamide-based resins and chlorinated olefin-based resins.
