Claims
- 1. A transparent composition having resistance to intense heat, comprising:
- (a) a transparent blend having from about 80 parts to about 100 parts by weight of an epoxy resin;
- (b) from about 5 to about 30 parts by weight of a boroxine having the formula: ##STR8## where R is a group having from 2 to 18 carbon atoms; and (c) from 1 part to about 10 parts by weight of a phenyl substituted alkyl alcohol; said alkyl alcohol having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms.
- 2. A transparent composition having resistance to intense heat, according to claim 1, wherein R, of said boroxine is an alkyl group having from 2 to 5 carbon atoms; wherein said alkyl alcohol has from 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and wherein said amount of said boroxine is from about 7.5 to about 30 parts by weight.
- 3. A transparent composition having resistance to intense heat, according to claim 2, wherein said boroxine comprises about 10 parts by weight and; wherein said phenyl substituted alkyl alcohol is benzyl alcohol and wherein said alcohol comprises about 3 parts by weight.
- 4. A transparent composition having resistance to intense heat, according to claim 1, wherein said transparent blend further comprises from about 1 part to about 40 parts by weight of a phosphite selected from the group consisting of diphenyl phosphite, trisnonylphenyl phosphite, triphenyl phosphite, diphenylisooctyl phosphite, phenyldiisodecyl phosphite, diphenylisodecyl phosphite, and combinations thereof.
- 5. A transparent composition having resistance to intense heat, according to claim 2, wherein said transparent blend further comprises from about 1 part to about 40 parts by weight of a phosphite compound.
- 6. A transparent composition having resistance to intense heat, according to claim 2, including from about 5 to about 40 parts by weight of a phosphite selected from the group consisting of diphenyl phosphite, trisnonylphenyl phosphite, triphenyl phosphite, diphenylisooctyl phosphite, phenyldiisodecyl phosphite, diphenylisodecyl phosphite, and combinations thereof.
- 7. A transparent composition having resistance to intense heat according to claim 6, wherein said phosphite is triphenyl phosphite.
- 8. A transparent composition having resistance to intense heat according to claim 3, including from about 5 to about 40 parts by weight of triphenyl phosphite.
