The invention relates to a stable epoxy resin dispersions and also a process for the preparation thereof and the use thereof, in particular for coatings. The epoxy resin dispersions which are remarkable, in particular, for good storage stability with a low content of organic solvents at the same time and little tendency to skin formation and yield coatings with good surface properties, contain, in addition to water, optionally small quantities of organic solvents and also optionally usual additives, as an essential constituent a condensation product of

Hardener for epoxy resins and process for hardening epoxy resins

Heat hardenable binders comprising aqueous dispersions of solid epoxy resins of a special structure, wherein some of the glycidyl groups are converted into quaternary ammonium groups by means of primary and/or secondary amines and quaternization, and further containing hardeners and possibly other conventional additives, characterized in that they contain, as hardeners, polybasic water-soluble polycarboxylic acid units or the anhydrides or acid esters thereof having a COOH functionality of at least 3, and the use of the binders for the preparation of hardened products, particularly coatings.

Stable aqueous epoxide resin dispersion, a process for its preparation,

A process for the preparation of molded bodies and coatings which comprises reacting at least one epoxy compound containing more than one 1,2-epoxy group per molecule alone or in combination with at least one monoepoxide, with at least one substituted amine of formula ##STR1## which contains no free phenols and in which R.sup.1 is hydrogen or methyl,

Process for preparing moulded bodies and coatings

An elasticized addition product formed from (a) polyalkylene ether-polyols having a molecular weight of 500 to 10,000 and 2 to 6 C atoms in the alkylene radical and (b) polyisocyanates, the ratio of the NCO groups of the component (b) to the OH groups of the component (a) being 1.5:1 to 2.5:1, and the addition product of (a) with (b) is further reacted with hydroxyl compounds from the group comprising (c) imidazolidine of a particular formula and/or (d) hexahydropyrimidine derivatives of a particular formula in an approximately 1:1 ratio of NCO groups to the OH groups of the components (c) and/or (d), and is in the form of this reaction product and/or in the form of a hydrolysis product thereof. Mixtures based on (A) the said addition product as the curing agent and (B) epoxide compounds containing more than one epoxide group, if appropriate together with monoepoxide compounds, are used for the production of molded articles having controlled resilience properties, such as sheet-like structures, adhesive bonds and casting compositions.

Glycidyl ethers of monohydric or polyhydric phenols of high purity are obtained if hydrogen halide is eliminated from halohydrin ethers of the phenols in aqueous alkalis in the presence of one or more onium compounds selected from quaternary ammonium compounds having at least one aliphatic C.sub.4-22 hydrocarbon radical, quaternary phosphonium compounds and tertiary sulphonium compounds as catalyst, or in the presence of those compounds which form in the reaction medium in situ, before the addition of the alkali, such onium compounds from the halohydrin ethers together with tertiary amines, tertiary phosphines or thioethers. In comparison with the known processes, the rate of dehydrohalogenation can thereby be significantly increased as a result of which an increase in production is achieved. Moreover, significantly purer reaction products are obtained by the avoidance of side reactions. The glycidyl ethers may be used as low-viscosity casting and coating resins in the form of coatings, adhesives, moulding materials, etc., and conventional hardeners can be employed. Due to their low viscosity the workability of the glycidyl ethers is considerably better and the capacity to absorb filling materials is greater. The extremely low content of easily saponifiable halogen results in an especially favorable corrosion behavior.

A hardening agent for an aqueous epoxy resin composition comprising a reaction product of (a) at least one polyepoxide compound, (b) at least one polyalkylene polyether polyol and (c) at least one compound selected from the group consisting of aliphatic, cycloaliphatic and heterocyclic polyamine and wherein component (c) additionally may be reacted with (d) an unsaturated compound before or after the reaction with the adduct of components (a) and (b), process for preparing said hardening agent and hardenable film forming coating compositions comprising as essential ingredients said hardening agent, at least one polyfunctional epoxy compound (a) and water.

Hardening agent for aqueous epoxy resin compositions

The invention relates to a process for the manufacture of glycidyl ethers of monohydric or polyhydric phenols with excess epichlorohydrin, wherein the monohydric or polyhydric phenols are reacted with excess epichlorohydrin, based on the phenolic hydroxyl group, in the presence of a catalyst specific for the formation of chlorohydrin ethers from phenols and epichlorohydrin, and of 0.2 to 8 % by weight of water, based on the reaction medium, until the conversion to chlorohydrin ethers is at least 10 %, preferably 50 - 90 %, based on the phenolic hydroxyl groups, and are then reacted by heating with 0.9 to 1.15 equivalents of a solid alkali metal hydroxide per phenolic hydroxyl group to give glycidyl ethers.
