The amine of formula (I) is low-odour, can be handled well at room temperature even without dilution, and can be produced at high purity in a simple process.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of an epoxy resin composition, containing at least one reaction product from the reaction of at least one amine of formula (I) with at least one carbonyl compound of formula (II) and hydrogen, as a cold curing primer or adhesive. Primers or adhesives of this type cure rapidly and trouble-free at ambient temperature, even at cold temperatures such as 10 or 5° C., suffer remarkably little yellowing and are free from toxic phenol compounds such as phenol, tert-butylphenol or nonylphenol. The primer has a particularly low viscosity and is particularly suitable for priming porous mineral substrates.

Abstract: A process for preparing a curing agent for epoxy resins, in which an amine mixture including at least one parent amine of the formula (I) and at least one alkylated amine of the formula (II) is reacted or adducted with at least one glycidyl ether of the formula (III). The amine mixture is especially a reaction mixture from the partial alkylation of the amine of the formula (I). The process described enables, with low energy expenditure and high space-time yield, curing agents of low odor, low toxicity, low viscosity and high reactivity for epoxy resins and epoxy resin products that cure rapidly at ambient temperatures and especially also under cold conditions and at the same time enable high-quality coatings having an even, shiny surface.

The curing agent makes it possible to produce low-odor, low-emission epoxy resin products, in particular coatings, which have a surprisingly low viscosity, a high curing rate, a high final hardness, and a surprisingly appealing surface.

Abstract: An amine of the formula (I) and a process for its preparation by reductive alkylation of 1,2-propylenediamine with a di- or trifunctional carbonyl compound and hydrogen. The amine of the formula (I) is low in viscosity and in odour, high in reactivity towards epoxides and outstanding in its compatibility with other amines and with epoxy resins. The amine of the formula (I) allows access to low-emission epoxy resin compositions which have good processing qualities, cure rapidly even at low temperatures and form high-quality, high-hardness plastics having an attractive surface.

Abstract: An amine of formula (I) which is particularly suitable for use as a curing agent for epoxy resins. The amine of formula (I) is devoid of non-incorporable toxic phenols, and is low-viscosity and pale in color. It allows the production of easily-workable, low-emission or emission-free epoxy resin products which cure rapidly even at relatively low ambient temperatures thus obtaining a high degree of hardness and a nice surface with hardly any yellowing. This is particularly suited to use in floor or top coatings.
