Method for making a lubricating fast setting epoxy composition

A lubricating fast-setting epoxy composition made by a process comprising:

• forming an epoxy base by mixing under vacuum dispersion:
• from 0.01 weight percent to 35 weight percent of a first micro-crystalline filler;
• from 0.50 weight percent to 25 weight percent of a first talc;
• from 0.01 weight percent to 15 weight percent of a titanium oxide;
• and from 50 weight percent to 90 weight percent of a hardenable epoxide containing liquid;
• controlling the mixing under vacuum dispersion to maintain a temperature for the epoxy base below 160 degrees centigrade;
• forming an accelerator mixture by mixing under vacuum dispersion:
• a second micro-crystalline filler;
• a second talc;
• and a hydrocarbon resin;
• controlling the mixing under vacuum dispersion to maintain a temperature for the accelerator mixture below 160 degrees centigrade;
• mixing under vacuum dispersion into the accelerator mixture a methylamino accelerator, forming an epoxy accelerator;
• wherein the epoxy accelerator comprises:
• from 20 weight percent to 50 weight percent of a second micro-crystalline filler;
• from 10 weight percent to 30 weight percent of a second talc;
• from 0.01 weight percent to 60 weight percent of a methylamino accelerator;
• and from 0.001 weight percent to 15 weight percent of a hydrocarbon resin;
• controlling the mixing under vacuum dispersion to maintain a temperature for the epoxy accelerator below 160 degrees centigrade;
• and
• mixing substantially equal amounts of the epoxy base with the epoxy accelerator at an ambient temperature, wherein the mixing is controlled to maintain a temperature for the mixture of the epoxy base and epoxy accelerator below 160 degrees centigrade, forming a lubricating fast-setting epoxy composition having a high lubricity and a curing time ranging from two minutes to twelve minutes at an ambient temperature.
