Abstract

Abstract A hardenable composition comprising an unsaturated epoxy ester resin and an ethylenically unsaturated monomer copolymerizable with the latter, said monomer being present in the composition in an amount of from 0.4 to 2 parts by weight for each part by weight of said resin, and said resin being the reaction product of an unsaturated monocarboxylic acid or a monoester of an unsaturated bicarboxylic acid with the epoxidation product of epichlorohydrin and a novolak phenolic resin of the structural formula: ##STR1## wherein R is an alkyl radical containing from 1 to 10 carbon atoms, the methylene bridges being bonded to the central phenol ring in the ortho- positions in relation to the hydroxyl group, and to the other phenol rings in the ortho- or para- positions in relation to the hydroxyl groups.
