The present invention relates to a curable epoxy resin composition containing a liquid acid anhydride curing agent. Various amine compounds and acid anhydride compounds are mainly used as epoxy resin curing agents. Acid anhydride curing agents have characteristics such as long pot life of the compound and low heat generation during curing.
Used in many electrical insulation materials fields. These include maleic anhydride, phthalic anhydride, tetrahydrophthalic anhydride, hexahydrophthalic anhydride,
Methyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride, methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride, etc. are known, but generally maleic anhydride (mp.202℃), phthalic anhydride (mp.130℃), tetrahydrophthalic anhydride (mp.104℃) ) When acid anhydrides with high melting points are used as curing agents for epoxy resins, they must be heated above the melting point in order to mix uniformly, resulting in disadvantages such as a shortened pot life of the epoxy resin composition. There is. For this reason, when an acid anhydride is generally used as an epoxy resin curing agent, it is preferably liquid at room temperature. The present inventor took this problem into consideration and, as a result of intensive studies, completed the present invention regarding an acid anhydride that is stable in liquid form below room temperature. That is, the present invention provides an isomer mixture of Δ4- tetrahydrophthalic anhydride (hereinafter referred to as Δ4- THPA) and methyl- Δ4 -tetrahydrophthalic anhydride (hereinafter referred to as Δ4-THPA).
A liquid acid anhydride is prepared from the isomer mixture (Me-△ 4 -THPA) at room temperature or at a lower temperature with a mixing ratio of () and () of 95:5 to 5:95, and this is The present invention relates to a curable epoxy resin composition blended with an epoxy resin. The isomer mixture of the present invention is a mixture of two to four isomers of Δ 1 , Δ 2 , Δ 3 and Δ 4 obtained by rearranging the double bond of the cyclohexene ring. MataMe
-△ 4 -THPA is 3-methyl (hereinafter 3-Me-△
4 -THPA) and 4-methyl (hereinafter referred to as 4-Me-△ 4
-THPA), either of which is fine. Preparation of isomer mixture is △ 4 -THPA and Me- △
4 - THPA may be isomerized separately and then mixed, or △ 4 - THPA and Me - △ 4
-There is no problem in mixing THPA first and then isomerizing it. Examples of catalysts used for isomerization include phosphorus pentoxide, sulfuric acid, polyphosphoric acid, metaphosphoric acid, acidic sodium sulfate, boron trifluoride complex, metal palladium, metal ruthenium, etc. 4 -THPA,
Me-△ 4 -THPA each alone or a mixture thereof
Add 0.1 to 3 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight, reaction temperature 120
The treatment may be carried out under conditions of ~240°C and reaction time of 0.5 to 10 hours. The isomer mixture obtained by this method may be purified by distillation or the catalyst may be removed by filtration, if necessary. Since the mixture of acid anhydride and epoxy resin according to the present invention becomes liquid at room temperature, it is easy to obtain a uniform composition, and since heating is not required during mixing, there is no disadvantage of shortening the pot life. The resulting cured resin exhibits excellent electrical, mechanical, and chemical properties. The epoxy resins applied to the present invention have an average of one or more epoxy groups in the molecule, such as polyhydric phenols, polyglycidyl ethers of polyhydric alcohols, polyglycidyl esters of polybasic acids, N of nitrogen bases, etc. - There are commonly known epoxy resins such as glycidyl derivatives and alicyclic epoxy resins. The composition of the present invention may contain known curing accelerators, fillers, diluents, flame retardants, other modifying agents, and the like. Production Examples 1 to 5 As shown in Table 1, 1 g of phosphorus pentoxide was added to the raw material THPA mixture, reacted at 200°C for 3 hours under a nitrogen stream, and the product was distilled under reduced pressure to obtain pale yellow liquid isomer mixtures.
