Uses. 3-Pentenenitrile, 3PN, is used entirely by the manufacturers to make adiponitrile. i7j -2-Pentenenitrile, 2PN, can be cycli2ed catalyticaHy at high temperature to produce pyndine, a solvent and agncultural chemical intermediate. 2PN is also chlorinated to manufacture pentachloropyndine, an intermediate in the insecticide Dursban produced by Dow. Addition of ammonia to 2PN foUowed by reduction leads to 1,3-pentadiamine (Dytek ep), which is used as a curing agent for epoxy coatings and as a chain modifier in polyurethanes. 

The two-part epoxy adhesive, readily available in hardware stores or other consumer outlets, comes in two tubes. One tube contains the epoxy resin, the other contains an amine hardener. Common diamine room temperature epoxy curing agents are materials such as the polyamides, available under the trade name Versamid. These polyamides are the reaction products of dimer acids and aUphatic diamines such as diethylenetriamine [111-40-0] ... 

Phenolic Resins. Phenohc resins (qv) are formed by the reaction of phenol [108-95-2] C H O, and formaldehyde [50-00-0] CH2O. If basic conditions and an excess of formaldehyde are used, the result is a resole phenohc resin, which will cure by itself Hberating water. If an acid catalyst and an excess of phenol are used, the result is a novolac phenohc resin, which is not self-curing. Novolac phenohc resins are typically formulated to contain a curing agent which is most often a material known as hexamethylenetetraamine [100-97-0] C H22N4. Phenohc resin adhesives are found in film or solution... 

In addition, boron trifluoride and some of its adducts have widespread appflcation as curing agents for epoxy resins (qv), and in preparing alcohol-soluble phenoflc resins (qv) (41). 

Chemical Composition. From the point of view of leathermaking, hides consist of four broad classes of proteins coUagen, elastin, albumen, and keratin (3). The fats are triglycerides and mixed esters. The hides as received in a taimery contain water and a curing agent. Salt-cured cattie hides contain 40—50% water and 10—20% ordinary salt, NaCl. Surface dirt is usuaUy about 2—5 wt %. Cattie hides have 5—15% fats depending on the breed and source. The balance of the hide is protein (1). 

The binder system of a plastic encapsulant consists of an epoxy resin, a hardener or curing agent, and an accelerating catalyst system. The conversion of epoxies from the Hquid (thermoplastic) state to tough, hard, thermoset soHds is accompHshed by the addition of chemically active compounds known as curing agents. Flame retardants (qv), usually in the form of halogens, are added to the epoxy resin backbone because epoxy resins are inherently flammable. 

Epoxidized phenol novolak and cresol novolak are the most common curing agents. The composition of the resin and hardener system is optimized for each specific appHcation eg, incorporating phenol novolaks in the matrix resin can iacrease cure speed. 

Hexa, which is not suppHed with the resin, is usuaUy added either with the water as a solution or just before or immediately after the water addition. By quenching the mix with water, the resin-coated sand is cooled to a point where there is no significant reaction with the curing agent. Any reaction between the resin and the hexa in the muller affects the bonding properties of the coated sand. As the batch cools and begins to break up, more lubricant may be added, which remains on the outside of the coated grains where it is most effective. 

Ch1orocarhony1trime11itic acid 1,2-anhydride [1204-28-0] (9), is used in the preparation of esters and amide—imide polymers. TriaHyl trimellitate [2694-54-4] (10) is used as a cross-linking or co-curing agent for ethylene-derived mbbers and plastics.
