Epoxy Curing Agents and Modifiers
Ancamide 2396 curing agent is a modified amidoamine intended for use at ambient temperature with liquid epoxy resins. Compared with standard amidoamines, it imparts better chemical resistance, improved film appearance, better low temperature cure and resistance to blush. Ancamide 2396 curing agent is ideal for systems applied to concrete, such as trowelable flooring, self-leveling flooring, grouts and concrete primers.
Category:Adhesive

ADVANTAGES

• Very good chemical resistanc

• Excellent adhesion to cold, damp

• Improved film appearance

• Long pot life

• Good strength and modulus
