Abstract
In general, the invention provides curable resin compositions that may be used to rebuild insulation and/or to provide environmental protection for cable splices, potted articles, and the like. The curable resin compositions can be curable at room temperature. The components used to form and cure the resin compositions may be provided in two or more parts. In specific embodiments, the invention provides curable resin compositions having anhydride, polyol, epoxy, and urethane components.
Claims19
A two-part curable resin composition comprising:
- a first part comprising
- at least one anhydride functionalized compound having anhydride reactive sites;
- and
- an epoxy functionalized compound having epoxy reactive sites;
- and
- a second part comprising
- a polyol functionalized compound having polyol reactive sites;
- a urethane polyol functionalized compound;
- wherein the first part or second part further comprises a catalyst;
- and
- wherein the composition cures when the first and second parts are mixed together.
A curable resin composition kit, the kit comprising:
- a first compartment comprising:
- at least one anhydride functionalized compound having anhydride reactive sites;
- and
- at least one epoxy functionalized compound having epoxy reactive sites;
- and a second compartment comprising:
- at least one polyol functionalized compound having reactive polyol sites;
- and
- at least one urethane polyol functionalized compound having urethane polyol reactive sites.
A method of encapsulating a signal transmission device comprising:
- providing a signal transmission device and a kit comprising:
- a first compartment comprising:
- at least one anhydride functionalized compound having anhydride reactive sites;
- and
- at least one epoxy functionalized compound having epoxy reactive sites;
- and a second compartment comprising:
- at least one polyol functionalized compound having reactive polyol sites;
- and
- at least one urethane polyol functionalized compound having urethane polyol reactive sites;
- and
- a catalyst;
- mixing the components of the first compartment with the components of the second compartment to form a reactive mixture;
- and
- applying the reactive mixture to the device.
