Epoxy resins and hardeners are essential in industrial coatings, providing exceptional strength and resistance to corrosion, making them ideal for demanding environments.
Unmodified bisphenol-A epoxy resin. General purpose resin. Brookfield viscosity @ 25°C 11,000 to 14,000 cP. Mainly used for protective coatings, underwater coatings, structural adhesives, and civil engineering applications.
Bisphenol-A liquid epoxy resin modified with reactive diluent. Viscosity 500 to 700. Mainly used for civil engineering applications, adhesives, and low VOC coatings.
Solvent-cut bisphenol-A based Epotec® epoxy resins have medium molecular weight. Brookfield viscosity @ 25°C 8,000–13,000 cP. Mainly used in protective coatings, marine paints, and varnishes.
It acts as a curing agent. It is designed for fast cure and is capable of curing at low temperatures and even in high humidity conditions. Brookfield viscosity @ 25°C 2,000–3,000 cP.
Solution-cut polyamide providing high flexibility and long pot life. Brookfield viscosity @ 25°C 7,500–12,500 cP. Curing agents possess low yellowing tendency.
Very high viscosity polyamide providing high flexibility and long pot life. Brookfield viscosity @ 25°C 3,200–4,200 cP. Curing agents possess low yellowing tendency.
Modified cycloaliphatic amines are room temperature curing agents. They offer excellent color stability, providing a high-gloss surface with good chemical resistance. Curing agents possess low yellowing tendency.
Modified cycloaliphatic amines are room temperature curing agents. They offer high mechanical strength and resistance to amine blush and water spotting. Curing agents possess low yellowing tendency.
Epotec® waterborne curing agents are based on modified polyamines. They offer high strength, low color, easy spreading, and can be diluted with water. They can emulsify liquid epoxy and are easy to clean.
1,4-Butanediol diglycidyl ether – good property retention, moderate diluent. Difunctional aliphatic reactive diluent.
C12–C14 glycidyl ether – good diluent and morphology, improved impact strength. Monofunctional aliphatic reactive diluent.
Used in combination with liquid epoxy for solvent-less coatings for steel, potting, impregnation, and adhesives. Also used in the construction industry and protective coatings.
Curing hardeners (powder coating crosslinkers) – polyanhydride resin for epoxy-functional (glycidyl) acrylics and urethane hardeners for hydroxyl-functional binder resins.
Glycidyl-functionalized polyacrylic resin designed as a matting hardener for carboxylated polyester resins. Used in coatings based on carboxylic polyesters.
Highly methylated, monomeric melamine crosslinker supplied in liquid form. Insoluble in water, it shows excellent compatibility with water-soluble backbone polymers.
Light to dark reddish-colored, low-viscosity liquid, phosphoric acid derivative. It increases the crosslinking speed of heat-curing coating systems based on phenolic/epoxide resin combinations.
Cycat 4045 catalyst is an amine-blocked para-toluene sulfonic acid catalyst. It is recommended for accelerating the cure response of amino crosslinking resins.
Hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) with urethane resin compatibility. Acts as a curing agent, providing excellent color retention and outstanding performance.
