BACKG~OUND OF THE INVENTION
: . .
The present invention ~elates to a rapid-hardening resin and the ; use thereof.
Cold hardenable mixtures of epoxide resins and amines and poly-amides containing amino groups have been used for considerable time in the construction industry as coating substances, coverings, mortar, adhesive, injection agent and for impregnation purposes.
The hardening time of such mixtures, in other words the time required for the mixtures to reach a condition where they can be used is dependent upon temperature. Generally, the hardening reaction at temperatures , beneath about 8C proceeds so slowly that such mixtures can no longer be employed.
;~ It has already been proposed to add to such hardenable mixtures :, ;~ compounds which accelerate the hardening reaction.
, '; What is disadvantageous with this proposal is that the accelera-tor, which is not consumed during the hardening reaction, unfavorably affects the use properties of the hardened mixture, for example, the surface hardness, the resistance against the affects of water and chemicals and the mechanical :. . . .
strength, and thus such accelerators can only be added in limited quantities.

Hence, the possibility of using the hardenable mixture containing the ~; accelerator is limited to temperatures above about 5C, and furthermore, ~;~ since most of the accelerators are toxic soluble compounds, it should be ` apparent that epoxide resins containing accelerators generally cannot be used ~' in the construction of swimming pools or drinking water installations. ~;

~;, .
,~ At temperatures between 5C and 10C there are employed so-;~ called highly reactive epoxide resins which, however, at temperatures exeed-ing 10C no longer can be used since their processing time is too short for , proper application.
., .
: OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a rapidly hardening synthetic resin which is not associated with the aforementioned drawbacks and limitations.

lOS8350 Another object of the invention is directed to a method of using such new and improved synthetic resin for different purposes, especially in construction engineering. -~
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
., According to the present invention, there is provided a rapid-hardening synthetic resin which also hardens at low temperatures in the absence of heat, the improvement comprising the resin component containing -an episulfide compound having on the average more than one -CH - CH2 -group per molecule.
Preferably said resin contains an episulfide compound or a mixture of episulfied compounds having an episulfide value in the order of 0.2 to 0.9.
In another aspect, there is provided a method of forming a coating on a substrate which comprises applying the synthetic resin to the substrate.
In particular, it has been found that episulfide compounds containing on the average more than one -CH - CH2 - group per molecule with stochiometric quantities of amines preferably with aliphatic or cyclo-aliphatic amines, harden while forming products which can be rapidly loaded 20 and without the need to add heat to such mixture. -It has been further found that episulfide compounds markedly accelerate the hardening of epoxide resins by means of amine hardeners at low temperatures as a function of their dosage.
The episulfide compounds or mixtures of episulfide compounds used according to the invention can be produced, for instance, according to the process which has been patented in DRP No. 636,708 (German Reichspatent 636,708) in 1934 and disco~ered by K. Dachlauer and L. Jackel, from epoxide compounds by reaction with thiocyanates, sodium thiosulfate, thio-urea or by reduction of chloropolysulfides with Al-amalgam (French patent 1,428,686).

1(~58350 compounds can be possibly bound by heteroatoms, especially oxygen, or func~
tional groups, such as ester-, urea-, urethane-, or amide-groups of aliphatic-, cycloaliphatic-, possibly substituted aryl - or possibly sub-stituted aryl alkyl-residues.
The polyamines used for hardening the episulfide resins are preferably cycloaliphatic and aliphatic polyamines or mixtures of such amines with amines containing aryl- or substituted aryl alkyl-residues.
The increased reaction capabilities of episulfide compounds in contrast to the corresponding epoxide compounds is known to the art and has been discussed in detail for instance by P. Sigwalt in an article entitlcd "Ring- ~pening Polymerization", Marcel Dekker publishers, New York, 1969 page 191. The behavior of polyepisulfide compounds in :.
contrast to nucleophilic coreactants has been described, for instance, by P. Penczek et al in - 2a -,h ~

, .
, ,: . , ' :"i . ~ ' "Plaste und Kautschuk", 20 (3)! 176 (1973). These authors have found, among other things, that polyepisulfides with catalytic quantities of nucleophilic coreactants gell m~re rapidly at temperatures in the order of 24C and SOC
than the corresponding epoxide resins. The hardening of polyepisulfide com-pounds by means of nucleophilic coreactants in the presence or heat con-stitutes the subject matter of United States patent 3,378,522, granted in 1968 to R.W. Martin.
On the basis of these experimentations it can be assumed that the inventively employed episulfide compounds modify the course of the reaction between an epoxide resin and a polyamine. It has been found from kinetic tests that polyepisulfide compounds initially react with polyamines and that the reaction products formed by such reactions either react with other polyepisulfide molecules or with polyepoxide molecules, and such reaction proceeds quicker than the reaction between a polyepoxide compound and a polyamine. It could also be shown that the episulfide compound alone in the prescribed dosage does not essentially accelerate the hardening of an epoxide resin by an amine hardener.
It is therefore possible to previously admix any given amine hardener, for instance an aliphatic or a cycloaliphatic amine or mixture of such amines such that the stochiometric conditions are maintained, and to add the episulfide compound, prior to application of the system, in such a dosage that there is obtained a hardenable mixture which at a certain tempera-ture possesses the processing time and hardening time respectively, for the intended purpose of use. In this way it is possible to control the degree of the hardening acceleration by means of the dosing of the episulfide com-pound throughout a wide temperature range, for instance between -30C and +10 C .
The inventive episulfide resins are characterized by the features that they together with amines at a temperature of 20C gell and harden ~ -3Q within one minute.
The amines which are preferred for the hardening of such epi-sulfide compounds are aliphatic or cycloaliphatic amines, which can be ~058350 t employed alone or in mixture with another polyamine or polyaminoamide, for instance with aryl- or aryl alkyl-residues.
Since the inventively employed episulfide compounds are them-selves consumed during the hardening reaction, there is formed therefrom an amine hardener insoluble product, so that the rapid hardening resins or resin mixtures of the invention additionally fulfill the regulations concern-ing toxicity.
The inventive episulfide compounds or their mixtures with epoxide resin possess a low viscosity, thereby facilitating the admixing of the components at low temperatures.
The inventive episulfide compounds or their mixtures with epoxide resins can be employed without or with added substances or additives, such as fillers, pigments, plasticizers, extenders and auxiliary substances or adjuvants, such as surface-active agents, leveling agents, wetting agents, delustering or dulling agents, for instance as paint coats, coatings, cover-ings, adhesive, mortar or injection agent.
They are particularly suitable for processing with a so-called two-component or dual-component installation which separately conveys the resin components and the hardener components, for instance in injection pro-cesses, and reinforcing materials such as fabrics or fibers can be employed.
The invention will be further explained on the basis of the following examples. Testing of the chemical resistance was undertaken in accordance with the procedures of DIN 51958 (the symbol DIN representing German Industrial Standards) and the Brinell hardness according to DIN 50351).
Example 1 The following Table 1 shows the chemical resistances of an episulfide compound/TETA systems, the symbol TETA representing triethylene-tetramine. A stochiometric mixture of an episulfide compound with the epi-sulfide value 0.70 and TETA, which gelled at 18C within approximately 1 minute, was applied by means of a dual component spray gun in the form of a film having an average thickness of 200 ~. After hardening for 1 hour and 24 hours at 18C the film was loaded with the chemicals listed in Table 1 and .. , : : :
