Process for potting components in an impregnating compound

The invention relates to flame-retarded compositions comprising A) an epoxy resin mixture consisting of

Highly filled epoxy casting resin compositions

Initiator compositions for materials which can be polymerized cationically are described, these containing

Initiators for materials which can be polymerized cationically

The present document describes the use of an inhibitor for cationic polymerization as an additive to a thermocurable composition based on at least one cationically polymerizable organic material and an initiator for cationic polymerization in the form of an onium compound or a compound of the formula (I)

Thermocurable compositions

The present invention relates to activated curing combinations for organic cationically polymerizable materials. The curing combinations are obtainable by activating a solution or a dispersion of an iron/arene salt and a polycarboxylic acid, an anhydride based on a polycarboxylic acid, or a polyisocyanate by heating or by irradiation with actinic radiation. The curable compositions containing these activated curing combinations can be used as sheathing or encapsulating materials for electronic components.

Curing combination for cationically polymerizable materials

Curable mixtures based on diglycidyl compounds and metal complex

The invention relates to a process in which, as essential components, liquid epoxy resins, carboxylic anhydrides, zinc fluoroborate complex compounds, water, tetrahydropyrane and compounds (X) which contain OH groups, COOH groups or both groups together, are reacted. Selective choice of the special quantity ratios results in reaction mixtures which, at low temperature (e.g. at 100.degree. C.), require only short moulding times and have a sufficiently long pot life. As the reaction is only slightly exothermic, the process can be used very advantageously for encapsulating electronic components.

Process for the production of epoxy resin castings

Curable mixtures of (a) epoxide compounds, (b) adducts containing mercapto groups, which adducts are produced by an advancement reaction of dimercapto compounds with diglycidyl compounds in an amount less than the equivalent amount, and (c) carboxylic anhydrides. The curable mixtures are suitable as casting resin mixtures, particularly for producing moulded articles of large volume.

Curable epoxide resin mixtures

New polyepoxide-polysiloxanes, which are obtained by mixing in appropriately stoichiometric amounts, an adduct manufactured from a polyepoxide and an acid polyester or a polycarboxylic acid with a polysiloxane and esterifying the mixture, are described. The new compounds can be cured with conventional epoxide resin curing agents, especially cycloaliphatic polycarboxylic acid anhydrides, to give flexible to rubbery-elastic mouldings, which show very low water absorption coupled with excellent dielectric properties and high tracking resistance and arcing resistance.

New polyepoxide-polysiloxane compounds

Polysiloxanes containing hydroxyl groups are manufactured by reacting polysiloxanes containing alkoxy groups with aliphatic or cycloaliphatic-alipatic diols in the presence of a catalyst at elevated temperatures. The new polysiloxanols can be used as modifiers for organic resins, such as urethane resins or epoxide resins, and give flexible hydrophobic plastics having valuable mechanical properties.

Polysiloxane compounds containing hydroxyl groups

Adducts of cyclic urea derivatives and dialkyl phosphites, containing glycidyl groups, for example adducts of a diglycidyl compound of hydantoins, substituted in the 5-position by alkyl groups or an alkylene group, and of diethyl phosphite or dimethyl phosphite. These adducts are used for the manufacture of flame-retarding plastics.

Glycidyl compounds containing phosphorus

New diglycidyl compounds of mononuclear, five-membered or six-membered, unsubstituted or substituted, hydroxyalkylated N-heterocyclic compounds, produced by addition of formaldehyde or acetaldehyde to mononuclear, five-membered or six-membered, unsubstituted or substituted, N-heterocyclic compounds, for example hydantoin or dihydrouracil, to monohydroxyalkyl compounds, and subsequent glycidylation of the OH group and NH group to give the corresponding glycidyl compounds.
