BORON TRIGLUORIDE-POLY (ALKYLENE OXIDE) AMINE CATALYSTS FOR CURING EPOXY RESINS

摘要

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSUREA process for curing epoxide resins by mixing anepoxide resin with a boron trifluoride-amine complexcatalyst useful in applications such as structuraladhesives, coatings, and in sheet molding compound (SMC)applications wherein the amine moiety of the catalyst is apoly(alkylene oxide) poly amine and heating the resultingmixture at a temperature in the range of from about 100°Cto about 200°C is described.
