An object of the present invention is to provide a modified cyclic
aliphatic polyamine having a low viscosity and a small content of
unreacted polyamine which can provide, when it is used as a curing agent
for epoxy resin, an epoxy resin composition having an improved
workability without adding solvent or diluent and an excellent property
of epoxy resin cure product. The above modified cyclic aliphatic
polyamine is obtained by addition reaction of a cyclic aliphatic
polyamine such as isophoronediamine and norbornanediamine and an alkenyl
compound such as styrene. The modified cyclic aliphatic polyamine thus
obtained is added in epoxy resin to be used as a curing agent for epoxy
resin.
