Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	There is provided a curative system for epoxy resins comprising an alkyl benzene diamine and an additional aromatic amine. There is also provided the use of an alkyl benzene diamine to enhance the performance of an aromatic amine as a curative for an epoxy resin in an infusion processes for the production of fibre reinforced composites; a curable epoxy resin composition containing a mixture of an epoxy resin and a curative system according to the invention; the use of a composition according to the invention as the curable resin in the production of fibre reinforced composites and/or in the production of fibre reinforced composites by infusion processes; a fibre reinforced composite comprising fibrous reinforcement material and a cured epoxy resin obtainable by curing a curable epoxy resin composition according to the invention, and a process for the production of fibre reinforced composites wherein a fibrous reinforcement material is laid up and a curable epoxy resin composition according to the invention is infused through the fibrous reinforcement material at a temperature of 80 to 130°C and, once the composition has infused the fibrous reinforcement material, the temperature is raised to 150 to 190°C.
