epoxy

  • Hydrocarbon resin modifier  with a viscosity of 450-750 cPs. A color gardner of ≤ 4.
  • Epoxy reactive diluent based on renewable CNSL (bio based) with a viscosity of 40-70 cPs. Color Gardner of 9.  This epoxy diluent will contribute lower viscosity, increase hydrophobicity and flexibility. See UL 513 for lower color and lower viscosity.  Similar properties to C 12-C 14 glycidyl ether epoxy diluents.  Slightly less Tg reduction vs GE epoxy diluents. Lite 513 E has lower total chloride and halogen content.
  • Cardolite NT-1300 is an tertiary amine catalyst. Offset to Ancamine k54.
  • Cardolite NT-3000 is an aliphatic monoglycidyl ether containing alkyl chains,which are predominately C12 and C14 in length.
  • Cardolite NX-202x products are low viscosity multipurpose resin modifiers. The long hydrophobic aliphatic side chain of the cardanol molecule gives these products a very low viscosity and provides excellent early water resistance and corrosion protection. By using NX-202x products as epoxy diluents and accelerators, high solids or solvent free formulations can be achieved with enhanced workability and faster cure without sacrificing other performance properties. In addition, the flexibility of the side chain helps increase impact resistance of the final coating. Different Grades Available. NX-2023 can replace nonyl phenol.  NX 2023 is non toxic,exhibits higher visc reduction, does not reduce gel time like NP, and shows improved water resistance. These products are a good alternative to synthetic phenolic diluents that have unfavorable labeling.
  • Phenalkamine curative used in fast cure, low temperature systems. The CA has excellent corrosion resistance and good color.
  • Cardolite Ultra LITE 2009H is a very light color and low viscosity phenalkamine curing agent suitable for epoxy coating applications protecting concrete and metal substrates. Ultra LITE 2009H provides faster hardness development than Ultra LITE 2009 in addition to excellent cure and film properties. This product is designed primarily for floor topcoats and self-levelers due to its good mechanical properties, and gloss and color retention.
  • Cardolite Ultra LITE 2009SF is a very light color and undiluted phenalkamine curing agent suitable for epoxy coatings applications.
  • Nonreactive resin modifier with a viscosity of 40-100 cPs. Color gardner of 1.
  • A reactive epoxy diluent based on CNSL (biobased).  This renewable diluent exhibits very low color, visc reductions, hydrophobicity and flexibility.  Viscosity reduction similar to glycidyl ethers (C12-C14 types) and faster cure times at room temp and low temperatures.
