ADVANTAGES
• Very rapid cure and property development at ambient and low temperatures
• Outstanding chemical resistance to solvents, acids and alcohols
• Good working life/cure speed balance
APPLICATIONS
• Chemically resistant coatings and mortars
• Accelerator for high solids coatings and flooring
• Secondary containment linings
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 Ancamine 2432 curing agent.
