Abstract

A hardener system for a synthetic resin composition having free-radical-polymerisable compounds, which includes the following constituents: a) at least one activator in the form of a metal salt, and as free-radical starter b1) (i) at least one aldehyde and/or ketone and at least one primary amine, and/or b2) (ii) at least one aldimine or (iii) at least one ketimine, or a mixture of two or more of constituents (i) to (iii). In addition, synthetic resin compositions having such a hardener system for application especially in fixing technology, and subject matters related thereto.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A hardener system for a synthetic resin composition which includes free-radical-polymerisable compounds, comprising:
at least one activator in the form of a metal salt; and,
with no addition of other initiators, as initiator a free-radical starter comprising one or both of:
(b1) at least one aldehyde and/or ketone which has at least one or more primary and/or secondary hydrogen atoms at the carbon atom in the α-position to the carbonyl group and at least one primary amine; and
(b2) an imine obtained by reaction of at least one aldehyde and/or ketone which has at least one or more primary and/or secondary hydrogen atoms at the carbon atom in the α-position to the carbonyl group with at least one primary amine, which imine includes one or more imine structural increments of the formula (I):

wherein independently of one another:
the wavy line represents an organic radical of an amine, or hydrogen; and
R 2 and R 3 each independently of the other denotes hydrogen or an unsubstituted or substituted organic radical which includes at least one aliphatic, heteroaliphatic, alicyclic or heterocyclic molecular structure, or a salt thereof.

2. The hardener system according to claim 1 , wherein:
the at least one activator in the form of a metal salt comprises one or more salts of organic and/or inorganic acid with one or more metals, the one or more metals comprising one or more of copper, iron, vanadium, manganese, cerium, cobalt, zirconium, and bismuth; the inorganic acid comprising one or more of a sulfate radical and a carbonate radical; and the organic acid comprising a carboxylate radical; and
the free-radical starter comprises (b2) the imine which includes one or more imine structural increments of the formula (I), the imine comprising at least one aldimine or ketimine, obtained by condensation, with removal of water, of a mono-, di- or poly-amine with one or more aldehydes or ketones, wherein:
the mono-, di- or poly-amine comprises one or more of aminol; alkyl/alkylene(mono- or di-)amine; cycloalkyl/cycloalkylene(mono- or di-)amine; heterocycloalkyl/heterocycloalkylene(mono- or di-)amine; a compound of the formula H 2 N—(CH 2 ) i —NH—[(CH 2 ) j —NH] k —(CH 2 ) l —NH 2 , wherein i, j and l each independently of the others denotes from 2 to 4 and k denotes 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4; aminoamide; polyaminoamide; Mannich base; amine adduct; and aminoalkylsilane that includes at least one hydrolysable group; and
the one or more aldehydes or ketones are of the formula (II),

wherein:
R 2 , R 3 each independently of the other denotes hydrogen or an unsubstituted or substituted organic radical which includes at least one aliphatic, heteroaliphatic, alicyclic, or heterocyclic molecular structure; and
the one or more aldehydes and/or ketones are compounds which have at least one or more primary and/or secondary hydrogen atoms at the carbon atom in the α-position to the carbonyl group.

3. The hardener system according to claim 1 , wherein (b2) the imine which includes one or more imine structural increments of the formula (I) includes one or more aldimines and no ketimine.

4. The hardener system according to claim 1 , wherein:
the activator in the form of a metal salt comprises one or more salts of organic and/or inorganic acids with metals, the one or more metals comprising one or more of copper, iron, vanadium, manganese, cerium, cobalt, zirconium, and bismuth; the inorganic acid comprising one or more of a sulfate radical and a carbonate radical; and the organic acid comprising a carboxylate radical; and
the free-radical starter comprises (b2) the imine which includes one or more imine structural increments of the formula (I), the imine comprising at least one aldimine or ketimine, obtained by condensation, with removal of water, of a mono-, di- or poly-amine with one or more aldehydes or ketones, wherein:
the mono-, di- or poly-amine comprises one or more of aminol; alkyl/alkylene(mono- or di-)amine; cycloalkyl/cycloalkylene(mono- or di-)amine; heterocycloalkyl/heterocycloalkylene(mono- or di-)amine; a compound of the formula H 2 N—(CH 2 ) i —NH—[(CH 2 ) j —NH] k —(CH 2 ) l —NH 2 , wherein i, j and l each independently of the others denotes from 2 to 4 and k denotes 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4; aminoamide, polyaminoamide, Mannich base, amine adduct; and aminoalkylsilane that includes at least one hydrolysable group; and
the one or more aldehydes or ketones are of the formula (II),
