Alright so,
Today i was cleaning up abit when i stumbled on a super strength glue that comes in 2 parts,
So i searched the MSDS and got a list of the ingredients listed,
Part A contains
Bisphenol A-Epichlorohydrin >60%
Non hazardous component(s) to 100%
Part B contains
3-Aminopropyldimethylamine 1-10%
Tri(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol 1-10%
Polyamide resin >60%
What i would like to know is can i seperate these chemicals?
And also are any of them useful and actually worth separating?
Hoping someone on here knows

Yes, they are useful; when properly mixed they form an epoxy resin that can be used as a glue.
Did you even try doing a Web search on them? There's an overview here http://pslc.ws/mactest/epoxy.htm
Any time you see "resin" you are dealing with a polymer, which typically would need to be depolymerised to be get a
useful-as-something-besides-plastic monomer. The Part A stuff is a pre-polymer, formed by reacting epichlorohydrin with bisphenol-A, which has been
in the news a lot over the last few months - try searching the Web on it.
