Epoxy Curing Agents and Modifiers
Ancamine 2280 curing agent is a low-viscosity modified cycloaliphatic amine designed for use with liquid epoxy resins in two-package formulations. It yields formulations with excellent chemical resistance, waterspot resistance and resistance to amine blush. These properties make Ancamine 2280 ideal for formulating flooring, coatings and linings.
Category:Hardener

ADVANTAGES

• Excellent resistance to amine blush and waterspotting at ambient and low temperatures

• Excellent chemical resistance

• Good low-temperature cure

• Low skin irritation — DOT noncorrosive
