The present invention relates to epoxy curing agents which are obtained from the reaction of a polyalkylene polyether modified polyepoxide resin and a polyamine component. They polyamine component is a reaction product of a polyethylene polyamine having 3 to 10 nitrogen atoms, for example, diethylenetriamine (DETA), and at least one aldehyde having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, for example, formaldehyde. The epoxy curing agent may be used as part of a two component coating system in the curing of liquid or pre-dispersed curable epoxy resins.

Liquid epoxy curing agents that have improved latency over conventional liquid curing agents while retaining the physical properties of the cured material are disclosed. These liquid curing agents can be used for curing epoxy resins, or in combination with dicyandiamide (DICY) based curing agents in order to accelerate DICY curing.
