Properties

Physical Form
Processing

Curing agents that give the optimum in elevated temperature properties for epoxy novolacs are those with good high temperature performance such as aromatic amines, catalytic curing agents, phenolics and some anhydrides. When cured with polyamide or aliphatic polyamines and their adducts, epoxy novolac resins show improvement over bisphenol A-based epoxies, but the critical performance of each cure is limited by the performance of the curing agent.
