ARADUR® 3467 XW 70

Phenalkamine adducts provide the following advantages in comparison with standard phenalkamine or polyamidoamine hardeners because of their anticipated pre-reaction, due to the standardized addition of the hardener along with a part of the required epoxy resin:

• Improved resistance to atmospheric humidity and cold
• Reduced surface tackiness
• Improved flow properties and water spot resistance even at very low temperatures
• Long pot life combined with rapid drying and good curing
• Quick recoatability even under adverse application conditions
• Phenalkamine adduct for fast-curing solvent-based or high solids marine coatings.

Along with liquid or solid epoxy resins or their solutions such as Araldite GZ 7071 X 75, ARADUR® 3467 XW70 is suitable for the formulation of cold-curing, solvent-containing coatings for application on metallic substrates. Main applications in off-shore, marine and heavy duty maintenance.

The mix ratio of Araldite® GZ 7071 X 75 to ARADUR®3467 XW 70 should be selected as 100:28 up to 100:35 parts by weight. The mix ratio of Araldite® GY 250 to ARADUR® 3467 XW 70 should be selected as 100:97 up to 100:118 parts by weight. In such cases a higher proportion of hardener provides increased flexibility and adhesion, while improved chemical resistance is achieved with a reduced proportion of hardener.

ARADUR® 3467 XW 70 should be stored in a dry place, preferably in the sealed original container, at temperatures between 2 and 40°C. The product should not be stored exposed to direct sunlight.  Shelf life (at storage temperature between 2 - 40°C) (see expiry date on original container) - 3 years at least
