CURING AGENT FOR EPOXY RESIN COATINGS

摘要

The present invention relates to curing agents for epoxy resins including an alkylated polyethyleneimine. These curing agents have high functionality and a high content of secondary amino groups. Together with epoxy resins, they cure surprisingly quickly and without blushing effects even under humid and cold conditions to form films having very high cross-linking density. They are suited for coatings with high resistance requirements.

主权项

1. A curing agent, which is suitable for curing epoxy resins and comprises at least one amine with the formula (I), where A is the group of a polyethyleneimine having a relative molar mass in the range of 300 to 5000 g/mol, following the removal of a primary aliphatic amino groups; R is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms; a denotes an integer from 1 to 50; and X is a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, which may optionally include hydroxyl groups, mercapto groups, ether groups, ester groups, pyridino groups or amino groups.
