ADVANTAGES
• Very low viscosity
• Good adhesion to poorly prepared substrates
• Good humidity and corrosion resistance
• Good film appearance and no amine blush
• Long pot life
• Plasticizer-free
• Good balance of properties
APPLICATIONS
• Penetrating sealers for poorly prepared steel and concrete surfaces
• Modifier for polyamides to provide increased solids volume and VOC reduction
• High solids and 100% solids corrosion resistant coating
STORAGE LIFE
At least 24 months from the date of manufacture in the original sealed container at ambient temperature. Store away from excessive heat and humidity in tightly closed containers.
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet for Ancamide 2443 curing agent.
