Abstract

An epoxy-styrene, solventless resin impregnating varnish, having an atmospheric catalyzed pot life at room temperature of at least 45 days, is made by mixing: (1) the product of the reaction of (a) 1 part of an epoxy resin mixture, comprising solid epoxy resin and liquid epoxy resin wherein the weight ratio of solid epoxy: liquid epoxy is between 1:1 to 1:10; with (b) between about 0.01 part to 0.06 part of maleic anhydride and (c) a catalyst; under such conditions that the epoxy diester formed has an acid number of between about 0.5 to 3.0; with (2) a coreactive vinyl monomer; and between about 0.0003 part to 0.004 part of a room temperature stabilizer (3) between about 0.3 part to 1.2 part of a polycarboxylic anhydride, which is soluble in the mixture of (1) and (2) and an amount of free radical catalyst that is effective to provide a catalytic effect on the impregnating varnish and to cure it at temperatures of over about 85.degree. C., and with (4) between 0.0005 part to 0.005 part of a metal acetylacetonate, selected from the group consisting of chromium (III) acetylacetonate, manganese (III) acetylacetonate, ferric (iron III) acetylacetonate, zinc (II) acetylacetonate, alumin…
