Method of accelerating the curing process in resin overflow systems for the use in casting processes
View Patent ↗A method of accelerating a curing process in resin overflow systems for use in casting processes includes the step of adding a curing accelerator for the resin into the resin overflow system. In addition, a resin overflow container and a compartment with a curing accelerator for use in casting processes are provided.
1. A method of accelerating a curing process in resin overflow systems for use in casting processes, comprising:
adding a curing accelerator for a resin into the resin overflow system.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the resin overflow system comprises an overflow container and/or a drain connecting a mould and the overflow container or being part of an overflow container outlet for drawing off resin of the overflow container.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the curing accelerator is added to uncured resin contained in the resin overflow system by an injection method.
4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the curing accelerator is provided in the overflow container before the resin is charged therein.
5. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the curing accelerator is provided in a compartment of the overflow container and is released after the overflow container has been filled at least partly with resin.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the resin is an epoxy resin or a vinyl based resin.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the curing accelerator is selected from the group consisting of tertiary amines, imidazoles, ammonium salts, anhydrides, a carboxylic acid, and a combination thereof.
