Amine-epoxy curing reactions formulation

In adhesive formulations, aliphatic amines are most commonly used to cure the DGEBA type of epoxy resin. Aliphatic amines are not widely used with the non-glycidyl ether resins, since the amine-epoxy reaction is slow at low temperatures. The reaction usually requires heat and accelerators for an acceptable rate of cure. Aliphatic amines are primarily used with lower-viscosity DGEBA resins because of the difficulty in mixing such low-viscosity curing agents with the more viscous epoxy resins. [Pg.90]

Several epoxy formulations are cured by both step-growth and chain-growth polymerizations occurring sequentially or in parallel. For example, BF3 complexes or tertiary amines may be added as catalysts of an amine-epoxy reaction, leading to different reaction mechanisms taking place whose relative significance depends on the cure temperature (or thermal cycle) and the initial stoichiometry. The structure and properties of the resulting polymer networks depend on the relative contribution of both mechanisms. [Pg.521]

The catalytic curing agents commonly used include tertiary amines, Lewis acids and bases, and dicyandiamide. Since their function is truly catalytic, the catalyst is added at relatively low concentrations (0 to 5% by weight) to the epoxy formulation. Homopolymerization generally requires both the presence of catalysts and elevated temperatures for the reaction to proceed. Like the polyaddition reaction, the homopolymerization reaction is accelerated by hydroxyl groups or tertiary amines. [Pg.38]

Two curing agents that have found their way into many epoxy adhesive formulations are the polyamides and amidoamines. These are commonly used in the hardware store variety two-part epoxy resins that cure at room temperature. Both are reaction products of aliphatic amines, such as diethylenetriamine, and should be included under the subclassification of modified amines. However, these products have such widespread and popular use, they are addressed here as a separate classification. [Pg.95]

Despite their many attractive features, the search for further improvements in performance and reduction in cost of cyanate esters is never ending and a large number of studies have been devoted to matrix modification through blends, and co-curing of these systems. Reactions of cyanate esters with a variety of functional groups like amines [169], hydroxyl [34, 66], epoxy [170-172], phenols, etc., have been reported, among which the most studied are reactions with epoxy [173,174]. Epoxy-cyanate blends are common and found in many commercial and patented resin formulations. [Pg.46]

Catalytic curing agents require a temperature of 200°F (93°C) or higher to react. These epoxy formulations exhibit a longer working life than the aliphatic amine cured epoxies. The exothermic reaction may be critically affected by the mass of the resin mixture. Typical materials used include piperidine, boron trifluoride ethylamine complex, and benzyl dimethyl-amine (BDMA). [Pg.183]

The most widely used epoxy resins are reaction products of either bisphenol A or a novolac phenolic resin with epichlorhydrin. When used to manufacture corrosion-resistant structures for use in the chemical process industry, epoxy resins are generally hardened with either aromatic or cycloaliphatic amines. The hardeners for epoxy resins are, with few exceptions, added at levels varying from 20phr (parts per hundred resin) to lOOphr. This means that the hardener is actually quite a high proportion of the matrix resin and has quite a profound effect on the mechanical and corrosion properties of the cured resin. Thus the selection of the most suitable hardener is critical to the eventual success of the application. Epoxy resins have viscosities of several thousand mPas at room temperature, which makes it much more difficult to wet out glass fibre efficiently with them than with polyesters. Wet-out therefore involves heating the resin formulation to between 40°C and 60°C to reduce the viscosity to less than 1000 mPas. [Pg.284]

Other curatives, which react through addition mechanisms are phenolic resins, particularly if the hydroxyl/epoxy reaction is catalysed using a tertiary amine (usually accomplished at elevated temperatures), thiols, polysulphides and mercaptans (can be formulated to give very rapid cures), polyetheramines (relatively slow cures, which can be accelerated with nonyl phenol), polyamides (less reactive than their amine counterparts) and amidoamines (characterized as having very long pot lives). [Pg.155]

To expand the formulation toolbox, acrylates can be used as co-reactants and reactive diluents in epoxy systems cured using amines. Acrylate esters react with amine curing agents through a Michael addition reaction, resulting in a secondary... [Pg.8504]
