The present invention relates to a novel epoxy resin curing system comprising
a cationic latent catalytic curing agent containing a hexafluoroantimonate, characterized
by exhibiting no shrinkage of volume or inducing an expansion of volume during
the curing reaction of the epoxy resin. By the use of the epoxy resin curing system
comprising a cationic latent catalytic curing agent containing a hexafluoroantimonate,
it is possible to inhibit the shrinkage of volume or to induce the expansion of
volume during the curing reaction of the epoxy resin. The development of such curing
systems made it possible to improve the dimensional stability and to remove the
residual stress, which has caused problems for decades in the production of various
molded articles. Furthermore, the curing systems according to the present invention
have excellent adhesive properties, thereby making it possible to develop adhesives
for accurate spatial infiltration.
