ABSTRACT:
Hardeners are provided for curing epoxies at lower temperatures than currently available hardeners while retaining superior mechanical and thermal properties. A first component is selected from imidazole, dicyandiamide, or a mixture of polyamines and tertiary amines. A poiyol mixture is then selected. The first component is combined with the polyol mixture to form a hardener. The hardener is combined with epoxy resin and is cured. A method for selecting a hardener to yield an epoxy-hardener system with good properties after curing at a specified temperature and time includes selecting components for the hardener so the glass transition temperature of the cured epoxy-hardener system is not significantly lower than 45° C. above the cure temperature. The method includes steps for adjusting and controlling the ultimate glass transition temperature to maximize the mechanical properties of the epoxy-hardener system. The method regularly produces hardened epoxy systems having about 90% or more epoxy groups reactect.
