ARADUR® 2979

ARADUR® 2979 epoxy curing agent is designed for two-component, ambient curing coating and flooring systems that require good esthetic properties, as well as good blush and early water spotting resistance. Its unique combination of long pot life and fast cure offers a distinct advantage over typical curing agents based on cycloaliphatic polyamines, such as isophorone diamine. The overall improvement in performance properties gained by using ARADUR® 2979 makes it an ideal material for many applications.
