The present disclosure relates to a curing composition comprising: a) a condensation product of at least one carboxylic acid having 20-60 carbon atoms and at least two carboxyl groups and/or at least one ester derived from a carboxylic acid having 20-60 carbon atoms and at least two carboxyl groups; and at least one polyoxyalkyleneamine, wherein the polyoxyalkyleneamine includes: I) at least two oxyalkylene moieties; and II) at least two primary amino groups; and b) at least one amine having at least one amino group. Also provided are an adhesive composition comprising the curing composition, usage of the adhesive, a turbine blade for wind energy comprising the adhesive composition, and a method for manufacturing the curing composition.

The present invention has an object to provide a resin composition for fiber-reinforced composite materials that excels in rapid curability without impairing low viscosity and heat resistance. A two-component curable resin for fiber-reinforced composite materials is provided, which is configured of a base material including an epoxy resin (A) and a curing agent including an amine compound (B) selected from either norbornane diamine or triethylenetetramine and a phenol compound (C), and in which a mass ratio of the base material to the curing agent is within the range of from 90:10 to 70:30, and the phenol compound (C) includes a phenol compound including two or more phenolic hydroxyl groups and is contained at 5% by weight to 35% by weight in the curing agent. A fiber-reinforced composite material is obtained by mixing reinforcing fibers in the resin composition for fiber-reinforced composite materials.

Provided is a waterborne epoxy curing agent comprising a reaction product of a) at least one amine having at least one moiety in the formula of -QNH—, wherein Q is a divalent hydrocarbon group, and wherein the amine has at least one tertiary amino group and at least one primary amino group per molecule; and b) at least one polyether polyol modified epoxide having one or more epoxide groups. Also provided is preparation methods thereof.

The present invention is directed to the use as a reactive component in the curing of compositions based on epoxy resins of a functionalized α-angelica lactone (XOMAL) having the general formula:

##STR00001##

wherein: R.sup.a is a C.sub.1-C.sub.30 alkyl, C.sub.3-C.sub.30 cycloalkyl, C.sub.6-C.sub.18 aryl or C.sub.2-C.sub.12 alkenyl group.

Provided are curable compositions including a base part comprising an amine-reactive curable resin and a curative part comprising a polymeric toughener dissolved in an amine. The polymeric toughener, optionally a rubbery polymer or thermoplastic polymer, is solid at ambient conditions with a weight average molecular weight of at least 5,000 g/mol while the amine is a liquid at ambient conditions. The curable composition is cured by mixing the base and curative parts with each other. Hardened compositions obtained thereof can achieve increased toughener loading, resulting in high peel and shear strength performance over a wide range of temperatures, including at temperatures exceeding 180° F. (82° C.).

A curing agent for epoxy resins, including at least one amine A1 of the formula (I) and at least one amine A2 which is a polyalkyleneamine or polyethyleneimine, where the weight ratio between amine A1 and amine A2 is in the range from 20/1 to 1/2. The curing agent of the invention enables inexpensive and low-emission epoxy resin products having good processability, long pot life, surprisingly rapid curing, especially also under cold conditions, high strength, high bond strengths, high glass transition temperature and a low tendency to yellowing, with formation of surprisingly nice surfaces having barely any blushing-related defects even in the case of two-dimensional application and under moist and cold conditions. Such epoxy resin products are advantageously usable as coating, especially for floors, or as adhesive.

The invention relates to an anti-fatigue cold mixed epoxy resin material, preparation method and application thereof, comprising component A and component B with mass ratio of 1:1-10:1, component A comprising fluid epoxy resin, active toughener, active diluents, coupling agent and defoamer; component B is any one of or a mixture of two or more than two of alicyclic amine or amino terminated polyether, cyanoethylamine, phenolic modified amine or hydroxyalkyl modified amine. Introduced epoxy terminated organosilicon block polyurethane prepolymer breaks the limitation that elongation at fracture of epoxy resin system based on “sea-island structure” is difficult to break through 100%. The invention is suitable for bridge deck pavement of long-span cable bearing bridge, waterproof bonding material or used for airport pavement, municipal viaduct, ramp and other occasions with high requirements for fatigue resistance of pavement material.

A resin composition and method for installing a pipe liner that allows the liner to be fully wet out with a resin and activator and stored for a period of up to six months prior to installation and curing. A method of lining a pipe with a delayed curing resin composition is also provided that includes fully wetting out a liner with a blended two part epoxy composition such that the liner can be transported in a wet out fashion, placed in a pipe to be lined and repositioned as needed without concern for the resin composition to begin curing.

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method for limiting peak exotherm temperatures in epoxy systems comprising the step of: combining an amine hardener, an epoxy and a diluent to form an epoxy system, wherein the diluent is selected from the group consisting of: ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, butylene carbonate, delta-valerolactam, delta-valerolactone, gamma valerolactone, butyrolactam, beta butyrolactone, gamma butyrolactone, and combinations thereof.

An insulating heat-radiating coating composition including a coating layer-forming component including a main resin; and an insulating heat-radiating filler, which not only is capable of exhibiting excellent heat-radiating performance due to excellent thermal conductivity and heat radiation but also forms an insulating heat-radiating coating layer having a heat-insulating property. In addition, an insulating heat-radiating coating layer formed using the insulating heat-radiating coating composition has excellent adhesiveness to a surface to be coated, thereby remarkably preventing the peeling of an insulating heat-radiating coating layer during use and maintaining the durability of the insulating heat-radiating coating layer against physical and chemical stimuli such as external heat, organic solvents, moisture, and impact after formation of the insulating heat-radiating coating layer.
