An epoxide based composition that can be cured at a temperature of less than about 70 C is disclosed. The composition is a liquid at ambient conditions and, therefore, can be used to rehabilitate the interior surfaces of pipelines. The epoxide-based composition comprises at least one epoxide component (component A) and at least one curing agent component (component B) wherein

Epoxide-based composition

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.

One component epoxy curing agents comprising hydroxyalkylamino cycloalkanes

The disclosure relates to solving problems associated with conventional latent epoxy curing agents by providing a new class of latent epoxy curing agents. In particular, the disclosure relates to epoxy curing agents with improved storage stability and low use level (e.g., less than about 10 wt % relative to the epoxy compound) by forming solid solutions of certain classes of amines in polyphenolic resins.

Amines and polymeric phenols and usage thereof as curing agents in one component epoxy resin compositions

Carboxylic acid salts of tertiary amines for use as an accelerator for an anhydride based epoxy curing agents are disclosed. The disclosed carboxylic acid salts of certain tertiary amines are latent anhydride accelerators and enable epoxy resin curing when heated to an elevated temperature (e.g., an onset temperature of greater than about 50&#xb0; C.).

Anhydride accelerators for epoxy resin systems

A heat curable, a one-component epoxy protective or decorative coating or adhesive composition comprising an epoxy resin, acid anhydride latent heat activated curing agent and an accelerator for the acid anhydride curing agent characterized in that 2-phenylimidazole phosphate salt is the accelerator.

2-phenylimidazole-phosphoric acid salt as an accelerator for acid anhydride curatives in one-component epoxy compositions

A heat curable, a one-component epoxy protective or decorative coating or adhesive composition comprising an epoxy resin, dicyandiamide latent heat activated curing agent and an accelerator for the dicyandiamide curing agent characterized in that an imidazole phosphate salt is the accelerator.

Imidazole-phosphoric acid salts as accelerators for dicyandiamide in one-component epoxy compositions

Curative compositions of amine terminated polyamide resins blended with a deaminated bis-(p-aminocyclohexyl)methane composition (DeAms) are useful for curing adhesive epoxy resin compositions. The polyamides comprise combinations of fatty mono-acids, dimer acids, polyethyleneamines, and piperazine ring containing polyamines which are piperazine or N-aminoalkylpiperazine, where the alkyl chain is a C2 to C6 alkyl chain, wherein the ratio of equivalents of fatty mono-acid to dimer acid can range from about 0.001:1 to about 1:1, the ratio of moles of piperazine ring containing polyamine to polyethylene amine can range from about 0.1:1 to about 1:1, and the ratio of moles of polyamine to equivalents of acid can range from about 0.6:1 to about 1.2:1. DeAms is blended at 2 to 40 wt % based on polyamide. Adhesive compositions comprising these curatives are also disclosed.

Polyamide curing agents based on mixtures of polyethylene-amines,

This invention relates to improved on component polyepoxide resins having enhanced physical and elastic properties. The polyepoxides resins comprise a polyepoxide resin based on a polyglycidyl ether of a phenolic type compound and a latent amine curative. The improvement in the polyepoxide resin formulation comprises incorporating an ester component having monofunctional reactivity with an amine hydrogen and a latent amine curative having from 3 to 10, and preferably 3 to 5 epoxide reactive hydrogen atoms into the epoxy resin. The glycidyl ester of versatic acid is preferred.
