An acid anhydride-containing one package epoxy resin composition consisting indispensably of (1) an epoxy resin having two or more epoxy groups in one molecule, (2) an acid anhydride, (3) at least one of (a) a liquid latent curing accelerator, (b) a latent curing accelerator soluble in an epoxy resin having two or more epoxy groups in one molecule and (c) a latent curing accelerator soluble in an acid anhydride, and (4) a dispersible latent curing accelerator, wherein the ratio of (1) to (2) is from 0.8 to 1.2, defined as the number of acid anhydride equivalents/the number of epoxy equivalents, and the amounts of (3) and (4) each are from 0.1 to 10 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight of the epoxy resin. The composition has excellent infiltrability, storage stability and reactivity.

Acid anhydride-containing one package of epoxy resin composition

Epoxy resin compositions which contain (1) an epoxy resin which has two or more epoxy groups in its molecule, (2) a polythiol compound which has two or more thiol groups in its molecule and (3) an accelerator which is (i) a solid dispersion-type amine adduct latent curing accelerator or (ii) the product of a reaction between a compound which contains one or more isocyanate groups in its molecule and a compound which has at least one primary and/or secondary amino group in its molecule, exhibit excellent curability at relatively low heating temperatures as well as a long working life.
