Epoxy resin hardener compositions and epoxy resin compositions containing such hardener compositions
View Patent ↗An epoxy resin hardener composition including a reaction product of (i) a compound having at least one vicinal epoxy group, and (ii) an amino alcohol; an epoxy resin composition including the epoxy resin hardener composition and a compound having at least one vicinal epoxy group; and a powder coating composition including particles of the epoxy resin hardener composition and particles of a compound having at least one vicinal epoxy group.
1. An epoxy resin composition comprising
(a) a solid amino functional hardener composition comprising a reaction product of:
(i) a compound having at least one vicinal epoxy group; and
(ii) an amino alcohol having at least one amino group and at least one alcohol group, where the at least one amino group of the amino alcohol are primary amino groups and a mole ratio of amine groups of the amino alcohol is in excess of the epoxy groups of the compound having at least one vicinal epoxy group in the range of from 25:1 to 2:1; and
(b) a compound having at least one vicinal epoxy group.
2. The epoxy resin composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition contains a solid isocyanate or a blocked solid isocyanate as a co-curing agent.
3. The epoxy resin of claim 1 , wherein the amino alcohol is an amino polyol.
4. The epoxy resin of claim 1 , wherein the compound having at least one vicinal epoxy group comprises a compound having two vicinal epoxy groups.
5. The epoxy resin of claim 1 , wherein the compound having at least one vicinal epoxy group comprises a compound having the following formula:
wherein n is 0 or more.
6. The epoxy resin composition of claim 1 , wherein the solid amino functional hardener composition is dispersible in water.
7. A powder coating composition comprising:
(a) particles of a solid amino functional hardener composition comprising a reaction product of:
(i) a compound having at least one vicinal epoxy group; and
(ii) an amino alcohol having at least one amino group and at least one alcohol group, where the at least one amino group of the amino alcohol are primary amino groups and a mole ratio of amine groups of the amino alcohol is in excess of the epoxy groups of the compound having at least one vicinal epoxy group in the range of from 25:1 to 2:1; and
(b) particles of a compound having at least one vicinal epoxy group.
8. The powder coating composition of claim 7 , wherein the amino alcohol is an amino polyol.
9. The powder coating composition of claim 7 , wherein the compound having at least one vicinal epoxy group comprises a compound having two vicinal epoxy groups.
10. The powder coating composition of claim 7 , wherein the compound having at least one vicinal epoxy group comprises a compound having the following formula:
wherein n is 0 or more.
