Applications
- Industrial Flooring & Screeds — Fast-curing agent for epoxy flooring systems, self-levelling screeds, and industrial floor coatings in UAE warehouses, factories, and logistics facilities. Very low addition level (12–14 g per 100g resin) simplifies formulation.
- High-Strength Structural Adhesives — Reactive component in epoxy adhesive systems for bonding concrete, steel, ceramics, and glass in construction and engineering applications across Saudi Arabia and UAE.
- Chemical-Resistant Protective Coatings — Hardener for chemical-resistant epoxy coatings on concrete and steel surfaces in UAE industrial plants, chemical facilities, and processing areas.
- Tooling, Casting & Potting Compounds — Used in epoxy tooling resins, casting systems, and electrical potting compounds where fast through-cure at ambient temperature is required.
Key properties
- Very high amine functionality — five active NH hydrogens
- Very low AHEW (20.7 g/eq) — minimal addition level required
- Fast ambient temperature cure response
- Excellent chemical and solvent resistance in cured system
- Strong adhesion to metals, concrete, and glass
- Low viscosity — easy accurate metering
- High purity ≥ 98% — consistent batch-to-batch performance
- 24-month shelf life — longest in primary amine range
Packaging
- 200 kg MS Barrel / Steel Drum
- IBC 950–1,000 kg (on request)
- Custom packaging available
Storage and shelf life
Store in tightly sealed containers at 5–30°C in a dry, ventilated area away from direct sunlight, heat, and incompatible materials (strong acids, oxidisers). Hygroscopic — keep sealed. Shelf life: 24 months from manufacture.
