An epoxy resin composition can be used for forming a film having excellent
water-repellency on a substrate surface. The epoxy resin composition
contains (a) an epoxy resin having at least two alicyclic epoxy groups,
at least one perfluoroalkyl group having 6 to 12 carbon atoms, and at
least one alkylsiloxane group and (b) a cationic polymerization catalyst.
The alicyclic epoxy groups and the perfluoroalkyl group are present in
branched chains of the epoxy resin, and the alkylsiloxane group is
present in the main chain of the epoxy resin.
