Curable systems containing epoxy resin and methanol or ethanol solvent to suppress the catalytic reaction between epoxy resin and an imidazole catalytic curing agent

摘要

A curable system such as a curable adhesive type system having a relatively long pot life is disclosed. The curable system of the present invention comprises polymer containing material including at least one curable epoxy resin, at least one imidazole type catalytic curing agent for the resin and a solvent for the epoxy resin capable of suppressing or inhibiting the catalytic reaction between the resin and curing agent at least at about room temperature, the solvent being selected from methanol, ethanol and mixtures thereof.
