PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide advanced epoxy resins based on alicyclic epoxy resins of high purity, which provide cured coatings having improved flexibility and low total chlorine content.SOLUTION: The invention provides advanced epoxy resins comprising the reaction product of an epoxy resin comprising a diglycidyl ether of the specified formula, and at least one difunctional compound selected from an aromatic diol and a dicarboxylic acid. (n is between 1 and 3; each R1 is independently H, C1-12 alkyl, C3-12 cycloalkyl, or C6-24 aryl; and each R3 is independently H, C1-12 alkyl, C3-12 cycloalkyl, C6-24 aryl, or a glycidyl ether group, where the diglycidyl ether has two glycidyl ether groups.) |
