PHENALKAMINE CURING AGENTS Calculating the mixing ratio of epoxy resin with curing agent:
A phenalkamine is a reaction product of cardanol and polyamine. They cure
epoxy resins at low temperatures, even in moist conditions. They are preferred for
protective and marine coatings in cold conditions. Phenalkamine To calculate Amine Hydrogen Equivalent Weight (AHEW), use the following equation:
*Method: Colour - ASTM D1544; Viscosity - ASTM D2196; Amine value - ASTM D2073; Pot life - ASTM D2471
To calculate Epoxy Equivalent Weight (EEW) of the mixture that contains reactive and non-reactive
additives, diluents and fillers, use the following equation:
