A multiple component anhydride-free, thermosetting epoxy resin composition comprising, (A) at least one epoxy resin, and (B) at least one curing agent selected from the group of (b1) a polyetheramine of the formula (1) (Formula (1)), wherein x is a number of from 2 to 8, and (b2) a polyetheramine with at least one terminal end group of the formula (2) (Formula (2)), and (C) at least one epoxy silane, is, in particular, suitable for the manufacture of instrument transformers and dry-type transformers by casting, potting and encapsulation processes, wherein said articles exhibit good mechanical, electrical and dielectrical properties. 

Thermosetting epoxy resin composition for the preparation of articles for electrical engineering, and the articles obtained therefrom

The invention relates to a curing agent for thermosetting epoxy resins comprising (a) at least one aromatic amine containing at least two amino groups, and (b) at least one clathrate compound obtained by reacting a tetrakisphenol of the formula (1), or a 9,9-Bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)fluorene of formula (2), as the host molecule, and an imidazole or an imidazolium derivative as the guest molecule, wherein the substituents are as defined in the description, and n is the number 0, 1, 2 or 3, which can advantageously be used for the curing of epoxy resins. In addition, the invention also relates to a process for the preparation of a cured article, a process for the preparation of insulation systems for electrical engineering and a cured article obtained by the processes.
