curing agents

A solvent-free phenalkamine with a viscosity of 1,100 cPS. Color gardner 14. Gel time in 22 mins.

Cardolite NT-1515is a solvent free, high viscosity polyamide designed for use with solid or liquid epoxy resins. NT-1515 epoxy systems can be used in maintenance coatings, primers and enamel paint formulations because of their excellent corrosion resistance and adhesion properties. This product is also useful in adhesive applications.

Cardolite NT-1544 is a solvent free, medium low viscosity polyamide curing agent suitable for high solids epoxy coatings and adhesive applications.

A solvent-free phenalkamine with a viscosity of 1,080 cPS. Color gardner 11. Gel time in 18 mins.

Cardolite Ultra LITE 2020is a low viscosity, solvent-free multipurpose resin modifier designed for use in coatings, adhesives, and other applications. The long hydrophobic aliphatic side chain of the cardanol molecule gives this product a very low viscosity and provides excellent early water resistance and corrosion protection. Used as an epoxy diluent, high viscosity solvent or solvent free formulations can achieve enhanced workability and higher solids without sacrificing other performance properties using this product. This product also has the ability to react and be used in alkyds, urethanes, and acrylics. Cardolite UltraLITE 2020 was designed as a formulation tool to reduce VOC levels and viscosity of coating and adhesive systems. Although higher in viscosity than some other modifiers, the structure of this product gives excellent dilution efficiency to help rapidly reduce viscosity for improved pigment wetting, flexibility, and general application properties. Physical properties such as water resistance, corrosion protection, color stability, chemical resistance, and gloss are not significantly compromised with the addition of Ultra LITE 2020, and the product can be added in on either component side of multi-part formulations. ADVANTAGES • Lowers viscosity while maintaining performance • Preserves chemical and water resistance • Good dilution effect • Adds flexibility • Reduces high shear • Compatible and usable in a variety of coating chemistries•Improves pigment wetting • Reacts with urethanes, alkyds, and acrylic resin • Low volatility and high flash point • Non-toxic • Based from natural, renewable,non-food raw material feedstock

A cycloaliphatic/aliphatic amine blend for intended use in civil engineering applications requiring good cure speed at lower temperatures, low viscosity and high modulus.
