Posted: Dec 21, 2018
@
Epoxy curing agents are used to obtain optimum performance characteristics of epoxy resins by crosslinking with them. The selection of curing agents is totally dependent upon the process and end user requirements. Handling characteristics such as viscosity, pot life, gel time, and physical & chemical properties along with environmental limitations play a crucial role in the manufacturing of epoxy curing agents. Epoxy curing agents are mainly classified as aliphatic amines, polyamides, aromatic amines, anhydride, catalytic, polysulfide, and mercaptans.
