Abstract
In this paper, six different curing agents were studied to cure the blend of epoxy resins at the temperature range of from-12 to 0 ℃, and the curing rate, compressive strength and steel-steel tensile shear strength were investigated. Experimental studies showed that the epoxy resin system cured with curing agent MS-002 is superior to the systems cured with other curing agents. The compressive strength value reached 62.56 MPa and the steel-steel tensile shear strength value reached 15.23 MPa, which are fully in line with the application requirements for construction adhesive in the winter.
