Epoxy Curing Agents and Modifiers
Ancamine 2442 curing agent is a modified polyamine designed for use as a latent curing agent for one-component epoxy formulations. The product can also be used to accelerate dicyandiamide (DICY). It provides an excellent balance of low-temperature activation, good shelf stability and high glass transition temperature, and can be used in many applications requiring latency and high performance.
