A 14 page bulletin available from Texaco in the U.S. describes Jeffamine EDR-148 (triethyleneglycoldiamine), an epoxy curing agent containing sterically unhindered amine groups. The bulletin explains why this agent offers the formulator a combination of flexibility and reactivity not found in many curing agents and presents comparative data on the properties of' epoxy systems cured with EDR-148 and the properties of systems cured with other curing agents, at elevated, ambient and subnormal temperatures. Information on the structure and typical physical of the agent is also included in the bulletin.

Courtaulds advanced filament winding has been awarded AQAPl Edition 3 registration by the Ministry of Defence in the U.K., the highest approval available within the MOD, for f‘ibre reinforced plastics and advanced thermoplastic foams.
Atochem (Elf Acquitaine Group) has granted a licence to operate its FIT (Fibre Impregnated Thermoplastics) process to the Italian corporation Enichem. This is the second FIT licence granted; the first was taken out by Ciba Geigy CMD in the USA for the production of parts for aerospace industries. FIT is 'a process developed by Atochem for the production of' comThe posite materials based on a thermoplastic resin matrix. composites so obtained are entirely novel products in which the matrix is reinforced by card, glass or other fibres.
