Product Group
Property Summary
Product Group General Properties
Aliphatic Wide range of products with differing properties. High reactivity, fast cure at ambient or low temperatures.
Amines Relatively moisture insensitive. Reasonable color and color retention. Good chemical resistance, particularly to solvents.
For heat-cure applications, good elevated-temperature performance, very good chemical resistance, and electrical and
mechanical properties.
Amidoamines Range of amidoamines of differing reactivities. Low viscosity. Exhibit very good adhesion, particularly to concrete.
Good cure under humid conditions. Modified amidoamines can offer faster cure speed and improved chemical resistance.
Cycloaliphatic Cure at low temperatures under damp conditions. Good film properties (e.g., excellent gloss). Resistant to amine blush
Amines and water spotting. Excellent color and color stability. Good adhesion and very good chemical resistance. Range of cure
times and pot lives. For heat-cure applications, good elevated-temperature performance, very good chemical resistance,
and electrical and mechanical properties.
Polyamides Ambient cure, low toxicity, good flexibility and toughness with high viscosity, long pot life and good water/corrosion
resistance. Polyamide adducts provide good compatibility (without induction period) and better cure under adverse

Latent Curing Includes one-component products that may be used alone or as accelerators for dicyandiamide products.
Agents
Dicyandiamide Dicyandiamide is a latent curing agent providing greater than six months’ one-package stability. Available in several
physical forms and particle sizes.
Accelerators This category includes: tertiary amines, which cure an epoxy resin by catalytically induced anionic polymerization;
and Catalysts imidazoles, which offer a pot life range from a few hours to six months and are excellent accelerators for other curing
agents such as dicyandiamide and anhydrides; substituted ureas, which are low-toxicity replacements for Monuron
and Diuron as accelerators for dicyandiamides; and acid-blocked amine accelerators, also used primarily as accelerators.
Boron Boron Trifluorides, or BF3, are amine complexes with a range of pot lives, activation temperatures and curing times. Very
Trifluoride high heat distortion temperatures and very good chemical resistance.
Polycarbamide Amine curing agent technology for curing polyisocyanate resins. Amicure® IC series of products are specifically designed
Technology for use with polyisocyanate resins such as Ancarez® ISO HDiT and other standard HDI trimer based polyisocyanates.
Clear and pigmented coatings based upon Amicure® IC curing agents exhibit very rapid hardness development, excellent
low temperature cure, very good color and UV stability and excellent surface appearance.
Adhesion Full line of adhesion promoters for use with both PVC and acrylic based plastisol systems.
