Abstract

Hardeners for epoxy resins produced by reacting one or more &agr;,&bgr;-unsaturated carboxylic acid esters with one or more hydroxy compounds, reacting the thus formed intermediate with one or more aminopolyalkylene oxide compounds, reacting the thus formed intermediate with one or more polyepoxide compounds, and reacting the thus formed intermediate with one or more amines are described. Processes for their production, aqueous dispersions containing the same and methods for their use are also described.
