AP5618 is a cycloaliphatic amine-based epoxy hardener, specifically a dicyclopentadiene amine. It provides superior mechanical and thermal properties, making it ideal for floor coatings, tank linings, adhesives, and industrial composites
Properties:
- Low Viscosity: Helps to lower the viscosity of epoxy formulations, making them easier to apply and enabling high-solids and solvent-free coatings.
- Reactive Amine Adduct: Functions as a curing agent for epoxy resins, creating durable coatings.
- Ambient Temperature Cure: Suitable for curing at room temperature, eliminating the need for heat.
- Corrosion Resistance: Provides excellent protection against corrosion, which is vital for marine and protective coatings.
- Excellent Flow and Leveling: Leads to smooth, self-leveling surfaces, ideal for floor coatings.
- Exudation and Blush Resistant: Minimizes surface defects and ensures a high-quality finish.
Applications:
- High-Solids and Solvent-Free Coatings: Ideal for reducing or eliminating solvents.
- Floor Coatings: Creates self-leveling and durable floors.
- Protective Coatings: Used on structural steel, concrete, and marine applications for corrosion protection.
- Industrial Maintenance: Suitable for coatings on industrial equipment and machinery to enhance durability and service life.
