Claims
- 1. A composition comprising:
- a dispersion of a liquid epoxide resin with a dicyandiamide hardener distributed therein, said hardener consisting essentially of
- a) dicyandiamide having a particle size distribution wherein at least 90% of the dicyandiamide particles are less than, or equal to, 10 microns; and
- b) 0.1 to 30% by weight, referred to the weight of the dicyandiamide, of at least one oxide selected from the group consisting of silicon dioxide, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, and zinc oxide.
- 2. The composition of claim 1 wherein the hardener contains 0.2 to 20 wt. % of said least one oxide.
- 3. The composition of claim 1 wherein the least one oxide has a specific surface area according to BET of at least 50 m.sup.2 /g.
- 4. The composition of claim 1 wherein the oxide is at least one of magnesium oxide, calcium oxide and zinc oxide.
- 5. A process for the production of a dicyandiamide based hardener for and epoxide resin dispersion, the hardener consisting essentially of dicyandiamide with a particle size distribution of at least 90% of the dicyandiamide particles less than, or equal to, 10 microns and 0.1 to 30% wt. %, referred to the weight of the dicyandiamide, of at least one oxide selected from the group consisting of silicon dioxide, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide and zinc oxide, the process comprising:
- measuring the oxide into the dicyandiamide to form a mixture; and thereafter;
- grinding the mixture so that the mixture has a particle size distribution so that at least 90% is less than or equal to 10 microns.
- 6. The process of claim 5 wherein the oxide is at least one of magnesium oxide, calcium oxide; and zinc oxide.
- 7. The process of claim 5 wherein 0.2 to 20% by weight of said least one oxide is used.
