EPIKURE 3140 | Hexion Curing Agent
Low Viscosity Reactive Polyamide, High Imidazoline, Moderate Molecular Weight Epoxy Curing Agent
EPIKURE 3140 Curing Agent is a low viscosity reactive polyamide, high imidazoline, moderate molecular weight epoxy curing agent based on dimerized fatty acid and polyamines. Epoxy resin compatibility and thin film curves are very good.
EPIKURE 3140 Polyamides are one of the most popular types of amine curing agents. Benefits include superior corrosion and water resistance, flexibility and toughness, superior adhesion to metal, good impact resistance, noncritical mix ratios and long pot life. Certain modified polyamides can be used to develop higher solids formulations that offer superior performance.
