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. 

High purity 4-dodecylphenol is used to produce specialty surfactants by its reaction with ethylene oxide. The low color of high purity 4-dodecylphenol is important in this appHcation from a standpoint of aesthetics. 4-Dodecylphenol is also used to produce phenoHc resins which are used in adhesive appHcations and printing inks. 4-Dodecylphenol is also used as an epoxy curing catalyst where the addition of 4-dodecylphenol accelerates curing of the epoxy resin to a hard, nontacky soHd. 

Epoxy cross-linking is cataly2ed by TYZOR TPT and TYZOR TBT, alone or with piperidine, and by TYZOR TE. The soHd condensation product from 3 TPT 4 TEA (triethanolamine) has also been appHed to epoxy curing (490). Titanate curing is accelerated by selected phenoHc ethers and esters at 150°C the mixtures have along pot life at 50°C (491) (see Epoxyresins). 

Stainless steel or epoxy-lined tank cars and tank tmcks are recommended for shipping. Aluminum also has been used. The tank can be flushed with carbon dioxide before loading and blanketed with nitrogen after loading. Dmm shipments are recommended in epoxy-lined open-head dmms fitted with a bung. Dimer acids and their by-products contaminated with iron or copper show accelerated color deterioration. Exposure to these metals or their salts should be minimised. 

Epoxy/Carboxy Cure Sites. Epoxy/carboxy cure sites probably represent the most important alternative to labile chlorine containing monomers. There has been increasing interest in them due to the discovery of the highly efficient quaternary ammonium salt-based accelerators (29—34). The reaction between the epoxy ring and carboxyUc acid can happen in the following three ways ... 

New efficient vulcanization systems have been introduced in the market based on quaternary ammonium salts initially developed in Italy (29—33) and later adopted in Japan (34) to vulcanize epoxy/carboxyl cure sites. They have been found effective in chlorine containing ACM dual cure site with carboxyl monomer (43). This accelerator system together with a retarder (or scorch inhibitor) based on stearic acid (43) and/or guanidine (29—33) can eliminate post-curing. More recently (47,48), in the United States a proprietary vulcanization package based on zinc diethyldithiocarbamate [14324-55-1]... 

Polyphenols or phenol-terminated resins are utilized to effect chemical cross-linking of epoxy resins with added catalysts or accelerators for the reaction (26).

Atmospheres polluted by oxidising agents, e.g. ozone, chlorine, peroxide, etc. whose great destructive power is in direct proportion to the temperature, are also encountered. Sulphuric acid, formed by sulphur dioxide pollution, will accelerate the breakdown of paint, particularly oil-based films. Paint media resistant both to acids, depending on concentration and temperature, and oxidation include those containing bitumen, acrylic resins, chlorinated or cyclised rubber, epoxy and polyurethane/coal tar combinations, phenolic resins and p.v.c. 

Epoxy (Anhydride-Cured) Epoxy resins may be crosslinked with various anhydrides by using a tertiary amine accelerator and heat. These cured polymers generally have good chemical resistance especially to acids. 

Transparent PVC plates were coated with a 70 pm thick film of an epoxy-acrylate resin containing 0.5 % of a benzotriazole UV absorber. They were first UV cured for one second and then exposed at 40°C to the low intensity radiations of a QUV accelerated weathering tester. The extent of the degradation was followed by Invisible spectroscopy, a very sensitive method that permits detec-... 

It is known that organotin compounds such as n-butyltin acid and di-n-butyltin dilaureate accelerate the hardening process of epoxy resins106) and initiate ethylene oxide polymerization 107). 

Mixing of propylene oxide and epoxy resin in a waste bottle led to an explosion, probably owing to the polymerisation of the oxide catalysed by the amine accelerator in the resin.
