Abstract

An epoxy resin hardener composition including a reaction product of (i) a compound having at least one vicinal epoxy group, and (ii) an amino alcohol; an epoxy resin composition including the epoxy resin hardener composition and a compound having at least one vicinal epoxy group; and a powder coating composition including particles of the epoxy resin hardener composition and particles of a compound having at least one vicinal epoxy group.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A solvent-free isocyanate resin composition comprising:
a. a solid amino functional hardener composition comprising the reaction product of:
i. a compound having at least one vicinal epoxy group; and
ii. an amino alcohol having at least one amino group and at least one alcohol group, where at least one amino group is a primary amine, and the mole ratio of the amino groups of the amino alcohol to the epoxy groups of the compound having the at least one vicinal group is in the range from 25:1 to 3:1;

b. a compound having at least one vicinal isocyanate group.

2. The solvent-free isocyanate resin composition of claim 1 , wherein the compound having at least one vicinal isocyanate group is an isocyanate, a blocked isocyanate, or combinations thereof.

3. The solvent-free isocyanate resin composition of claim 1 , wherein the amino groups on the amino alcohol are primary amines.

4. The solvent-free isocyanate resin composition of claim 1 , wherein the amino alcohol is an amino polyol.

5. The solvent-free isocyanate resin composition of claim 1 , wherein the compound having at least one vicinal epoxy group comprises a compound having two vicinal epoxy groups.

6. The solvent-free isocyanate resin composition of claim 1 , wherein the compound having at least one vicinal epoxy group comprises a compound having the following formula:

wherein n is 0 or more.

7. The solvent-free isocyanate resin composition of claim 1 , wherein the amino alcohol is selected from a group consisting of monoethanolamine, 2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-propanediol, and 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3,propanediol.

8. The solvent-free isocyanate resin composition of claim 1 , wherein the molecular weight of the amino alcohol is from about 150 Da to about 10,000 Da.

9. The solvent-free isocyanate resin composition of claim 1 , wherein the solid amino-functional hardener composition comprises solid particles that are dispersible in water.

10. The solvent-free isocyanate resin composition of claim 1 , wherein component a. has a softening point from about 30° C. to 150° C.
