Chemical name: methyl tetrahydrophthalic anhydride
Molecular formula:C9H10O3
Constitutional formula:
Relative molecular weight: 166.178(according to International Relative Atomic Mass of the year 1987)
Performance Characteristics:
High purity and pale colour: It can be directly made into or mixed into epoxy resin products with different colours as desired.
Low viscosity: Processing properties such as casting, filling and sealing, and impregnating are good. A large amount of filling agent can be added when casting is underway so as to make the cured compound perform well.
It is stable in performance and has a low freezing point. It has a long service life and can be stored at room temperature enduringly.
Low volatility and low toxicity. The loss on heating is low, and its toxicity is only as 5% to 2.5% as the toxicity of amine curing agents.
Good mutually soluble performance. The product can be mutually soluble with all epoxy resins, and the viscosity on mixing is low. At the same time, when the mixture system is heated for curing, it shows a low contraction percentage.
This product is a new-type of fine chemical product, which is essential to electronics, electromechanical industries. It finds wide applications in many processes such as filling and sealing, casting, encapsulating, laminating, adhesive bonding and winding.
Product types and applications:
The three types of ANY1001, ANY1002, ANY1008 made by our factory are available.
The type of ANY-1001 has pale colour and low viscosity. Its colour remains unchanged after accelerating agent is added to it, and it has few gas bubbles. So it is especially suited for the white filling and sealing process.
The type of ANY-1002 is a pale yellow and transparent liquid, and it has moderate viscosity. It is generally applied in processes such as casting, pultrusion and winding.
The type of ANY-1008 is a new product, which is developed on the basis of ANY-1001. In addition to advantages of ANY-1001, it also has the advantages of having even fewer gas bubbles and even lower viscosity. Thus, it is more favourable for the pipelining operation, and an ideal product for replacing the imported counterpart.
Formulation:
The customer can choose the desirable product types and their proper quantity, the product types include epoxy resin, accelerating agent, filling materials, toughening agent and active diluting agent. An ideal formulation can be obtained by the small-sample test.
Reference conditions for the curing process:
Take 100 fraction of E-type epoxy resin, 80 fraction of ANY-1002 and 0.2-0.5 fraction of the above said accelerating agent and mix them proportionally. Debubble the mixture at 60-70℃. Then the mixture is kept at 100℃ for 2 hours, and at 120-150℃ for 4-10 hours. The temperatures and time at the post-phase are determined based upon the volume of cured compound and actual process conditions.

ANY Series of Methyl Hexahydrophthalic Anhydride

Molecular formula:C9H12O3
Constitutional formula:



Relative molecular weight: 168.194(according to International Relative Atomic Mass of the year 1987)

Performance characteristics:
Methyl hexahydrophthalic anhydride is obtained from methyl tetrahydrophthalic anhydride by a process of catalytic hydrofinishing. It is a high performance product among the liquid acid anhydride curing agents. Besides the same performance as methyl tetrahydrophthalic anhydride has, including high purity, pale color, low volatility, good mutual solubility, low toxicity, low loss on heating, stable performance, long service life, low freezing point and long period storage at room temperature, it also has more advantageous performance as follows: It has pale color, and is a colorless and transparent liquid. Its color remains unchanged after accelerating agent is add, except for the inherent color of accelerating agent. The correspondent epoxy cured compound has pale color and high transparency. The compound has good heat-resistance, especially at 150℃; It has excellent mechanical and electrical performance, weatherability, strong Ultraviolet resistance; Its distortion temperature is high; It is free from the influence of light-heat, and it has good wet resistance and corrosion resistance.
Main applications:
In addition to the superior electrical and mechanical performance, methyl hexahydrophthalic anhydride has the more outstanding performance, namely pale color and good transparency, which enables it to be used in LBD. It has favorable weatherability and UV resistance, therefore, it is suitable to be used in electric appliances which function in the open air lastingly. In addition, it also has a relatively long service cycle and high distortion temperature, so it can find much wider applications, in comparison with methyl tetrahydrophthalic anhydride.
Formulation:
The customer can refer to the formulation of methyl tetrahydrophthalic anhydride. For instance, 100 fraction of bisphenol A epoxy resin, 75-90 fraction of methyl hexahydrophthalic anhydride and 0.5-1 fraction of accelerating agent (DMP-30).
Curing conditions:
This formulation method and curing conditions are provided only for your reference. The varieties of materials used, amount added, curing temperatures and time can be determined by the customer based upon actual process requirements.
