Epoxy Curing Agent
Epoxy resins, known for their high mechanical strength, excellent adhesion, minimal shrinkage, and superior chemical resistance, require curing agents to fully harden.
Our modified amine curing agents are ideal for low and ambient temperature applications.
These agents are derived from reactions with epoxy compounds, acyl compounds, dimer acids, or phenolic compounds, offering a range of unique properties.
Our product line includes modified amines, phenolic amines, polyamides, and waterborne epoxy solutions, tailored for coatings, adhesives, and corrosion protection.
Polyamide epoxy curing agents are synthesized through the reaction of dimerized fatty acids with polyamines, such as ethylenediamine. This results in a molecular structure featuring long-chain fatty acids and multiple amine groups, which contribute to their excellent mechanical properties.
Phenalkamine epoxy curing agents are synthesized primarily from cardanol, a key component derived from cashew nut shell liquid, along with other phenolic compounds. These phenols react with aliphatic amines to form a molecular structure that includes aromatic rings, hydroxyl groups, and aliphatic chains, which impart unique performance characteristics.
Modified amine curing agents are synthesized by introducing various functional groups, such as epoxy, hydroxyl, or ester groups, into amine molecules through reactions with epoxy resins, fatty acids, or phenolic resins.
Waterborne epoxy resin and curing agents represent an eco-friendly alternative to traditional solvent-based systems, widely used in applications that require high performance with minimal environmental impact. These systems use water as a dispersion medium, reducing the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and making them safer to handle.
