Abstract
A method for the manufacture of a one-component epoxy resin system comprises mixing at 15-30° C. and reacting at room temperature over 2-14 days (A) an epoxy resin and (B) an amine solidifying system present in insufficient quantities to cause gelation to yield a product with a Kofler Heat Bank melting point of less than 55° C. and a melting point stability of at least six months at normal workshop temperatures in the presence of (C) a hardener for (A) and the reaction product of (A) and (B) which is different from (B) and remains unreacted with (A) and (B) during the their reaction, (E) an expanding agent and (D) additives other than the expanding agent, provided that the reaction between (A) and (B) does not generate enough heat to activate a reaction between the remaining epoxy groups and hardener (C) or expanding agent (E).
