Technical Details & Test Data

Pigmentation
  • The resin and solutions are easily pigmented using standard techniques.
Curing
  • The cure schedule depends upon the reaction of formulation ingredients (resins, hardener, pigmentation, solvents) and the conditions of application (temperature, humidity, film thickness, etc...). Cure time varies inversely with temperature.
  • For laboratory testing purposes, a seven days cure at 25°C (77°F) and 50% relative humidity is recommended.
Processing Characteristics
  • ARADUR® 115-2 X 70 US Hardener may be used to cure liquid epoxy resin solutions at ambient or slightly elevated temperatures.
  • The ratio of epoxy resin to polyamide resin will determine the ultimate coating properties.
  • The normal range of polyamide to epoxy resin is between 25 to 100 phr (parts per hundred of resin). In such cases a higher proportion of ARADUR® 115-2 X 70 US Hardener provides increased flexibility and adhesion, while improved chemical resistance is achieved with a reduced proportion of ARADUR® 115-2 X 70 US Hardener.
