Admark offers low viscosity modified cycloaliphatic amine adduct hardeners for epoxy resin based lacquers and coatings.
The Cycloaliphatic hardeners are used in combination with liquid Epoxy resins, or epoxy resin modified by means of reactive as well as non-reactive diluents. Ideal for high solid protective coatings, self-levelling floor coating and structural steel.
Cycloaliphatic Amines exhibits good film hardness and film properties of excellent gloss. Very good chemical resistance and mechanical properties especially at heat cure temperature and good elevated temperature performance.
Typical Applications
High solids coatings
Flooring
Chemical resistant linings
Secondary containment
Adhesives
General Performance
Colorless liquid
Good chemical resistance
Color stability
Low viscosity
Good high temperature physical and electrical properties
Moderately high heat distortion temperature
Excellent mechanical properties
Aliphatic Amines
Aliphatic amines are usually fast curing, low viscosity, and good chemical resistance to the applied system. However, it is usually modified to eliminate problems caused by the objectionable volatility of the amines. The aliphatic polyamine cured system is resistant to attack by alkalies, solvents and some inorganic acids; they are less resistant to most organic acids.
Typical Applications
Civil Engineering – patch repair systems
Flooring
High solids coatings
Adhesives
Wet lay-up laminating
Small electrical encapsulation
Acceleration of other amine curing agents
General Performance
Low viscosity.
Developed to improve certain characteristics such as pot life, faster cures and easier handling.
Excellent cured resin physical characteristics including chemical and solvent resistance.
Good long-term retention of properties.
Short-term exposure at high temperature can be tolerated.
Excellent resistance to aqueous alkali.
Strong organic acids such as acetic acids not recommended.
Good solvent resistance.
