Abstract
A N-substituted piperazine or N-substituted homopiperazine adduct with a polyepoxide is used as a co-curing agent in epoxy resin systems containing a polyepoxide and a known curing agent such as dicyandiamide, a carboxylic acid anhydride, or a dihydrazide. The preferred adducts have a ratio of epoxy groups to secondary amino groups of between 1.2:1 and 3:1. The preferred polyepoxides are polyglycidyl ethers of 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol (bisphenol A). Suitable adducts are prepared from N-methyl-, N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-, N-octyl-, N-phenyl- and N-benzyl piperazine and N-methyl homopiperazine.
