Process for obtaining aqueous compositions comprising curing epoxy agents
View Patent ↗A process for obtaining aqueous compositions including curing epoxy agents includes providing an aqueous mixture comprising at least one polymercaptan, at least one di- or poly(amido)amine, and water, and reacting the aqueous mixture with an uncured epoxy resin to form a final cured epoxy resin is provided. A process for obtaining aqueous compositions including curing epoxy agents includes providing an aqueous mixture of at least one waterpoxy treated with at least one polymercaptan, and reacting the aqueous mixture with an uncured epoxy resin to form the final cured epoxy resin is also provided.
1. A process for obtaining aqueous compositions comprising curing epoxy agents, the process comprising the steps of:
(a) providing an aqueous mixture comprising at least one polymercaptan; at least one amine component selected from the group consisting of diamines, polyamines, amidodiamines and amidopolyamines; and water; and
(b) reacting said aqueous mixture with an uncured epoxy resin to form a final cured epoxy resin,
wherein said polymercaptan and said amine component are present in a weight ratio of 1:99 to 10:90.
2. A process for obtaining aqueous compositions comprising curing epoxy agents, the process comprising the steps of:
(a) providing an aqueous mixture comprising at least one polymercaptan; at least one amine component selected from the group consisting of diamines, polyamines, amidodiamines and amidopolyamines; and water; and
(b) reacting said aqueous mixture with an uncured epoxy resin to form a final cured epoxy resin,
wherein the weight ratio of said polymercaptan and said amine component is 70:30 to 90:10.
3. A process for obtaining aqueous compositions comprising curing epoxy agents, the process comprising the steps of:
(a) providing an aqueous mixture of at least one epoxy-amine adduct and at least one polymercaptan, and
(b) reacting said aqueous mixture with an uncured epoxy resin to form the final cured epoxy resin,
wherein said epoxy-amine adduct comprises a condensation product of an uncured epoxy resin and an amine component selected from the group consisting of amidodiamines and amidopolyamines.
