Abstract
A storage-stable suspension of an epoxy resin hardener and a toughener useful as a molding composition is prepared via a) the addition of an organic solvent to an aqueous emulsion of the toughener when using a water-sensitive hardener, such as a polycarboxylic anhydride, removing the water as an azeotrope by vacuum distillation, then adding the epoxy resin hardener and removing the residual solvent by vacuum distillation, or b) the addition of an aqueous emulsion of the toughener with or without an organic solvent to the epoxy resin hardener when using a water-insensitive hardener such as a polyamine, and removing the water and any organic solvent by vacuum distillation.
