Epoxy resin curing agents

摘要

Curing agents for epoxy resins are provided in which an imidazole is substituted on the nitrogen atom by a long chain group. This provides greater latexing (stability) at ambient temperature without adversely affecting curing properties at temperatures of 50 DEG C upwards. Those components in which the chain is substituted by a hydroxy group on the 2 position are particularly preferred and are novel compounds.
