An investigation was made of the effect of low-viscosity epoxy oligomer DER-330, active diluent DEG-1, and temperature on the rheokinetic properties of chlorine-containing epoxy oligomer of grade EKhD cured with liquid curing agent isomethyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride. It was established that, by introducing modifiers and changing the temperature, the gelation time of the epoxy binder can be varied in a wide range, from 22 min to 28 h.
