Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to curable epoxy resin systems comprising polyethylene tetraamine and a tin catalyst as hardening agents, and optionally comprising 1,4-diaza[2.2.2]bicyclo octane. The invention also relates to articles made therefrom, including composites such as carbon fiber reinforced composites. The curable epoxy resins have rapid demold times and/or high glass temperature.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A curable resin system comprising: a) an epoxy component comprising a liquid epoxy resin wherein at least 80 weight percent of the liquid epoxy resin is one or more polyglycidyl ethers of a polyphenol having an epoxy equivalent weight of up to 250; and b) a hardener component comprising a tin (IV) catalyst comprising dimethyltin dineodecanoate in an amount of 0.01 to 3.0 wt % based on weight of the hardener component and 80 to 99.99 wt % of a polyethylene tetraamine mixture, based on weight of the hardener component. 2. The curable resin system of claim 1 , wherein the hardener component further comprises 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, in an amount up to 15 wt %, based on weight of the hardener component. 3. The curable resin system of claim 1 comprising 10 to 20 parts by weight of the hardener component for every 100 parts by weight of the epoxy component. 4. The curable resin system of claim 1 further comprising a filler component. 5. The curable resin system of claim 1 having a demold time at least 15% shorter than the demold time of a comparative resin system that is identical to the curable resin system but comprises no tin catalyst. 6. The curable resin system of claim 1 having a demold time at least 15% shorter than the demold time of a comparative resin system that is identical to the curable resin system but comprises no tin catalyst or 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane. 7. A cured resin product obtained by curing the curable resin system of claim 1 . 8. The cured resin product of claim 7 , which is a fiber composite article. 9. The cured resin product of claim 7 , which is obtained by resin transfer molding.
