ANCAMIDE 440 BX-60

An epoxy adduct of Ancamide 220 curing agent, supplied as a 60% solids by weight solution in xylene/n-butanol (4:1 by weight). Pre-reaction (or adduction) provides several advantages including reduction or elimination of the standard ½ to 1 hour induction period; improved compatibility, flow and leveling; and a faster drying time/cure-especially under adverse conditions. Relative to Ancamide 220, Ancamide 440-BX-60 curing agent can also provide improved gloss and impact resistance upon cure. These improvements are achieved with standard solid epoxy resin in solution. Liquid epoxy resins are generally not sufficiently compatible on mixing to provide the advantages described.
