Abstract

A water-dispersible curing agent for epoxy resins is prepared by the reaction of (a) an epoxy-functional compound obtained from the reaction of at least one epoxy resin and an amidoamine derived from the reaction of an acid-terminated polyalkylene glycol and a diamine in an active amine hydrogen:epoxy groups ratio of from 1:15 to 1:350, (b) at least one polyamine in an active amine hydrogen:epoxy groups ratio of from 2:1 to 30:1 which yields an amine-terminated product having an amine equivalent weight of at least 50, and, optionally, (c) a monoepoxy in a remaining active amine hydrogen:epoxy groups ratio of from 5:1 to 20:1.
