GABEPRO™ GPM-888

GABEPRO™ GPM-888 Curing Agent is formulated from a mercaptan (-SH) terminated liquid curing agent that imparts rapid-cure characteristics to epoxy resins in combination with selected amines. These systems provide rapid cure rates at low temperatures and in thin films. This material is formulated to cure epoxy resin in approximately 5 minutes.

Technical Details & Test Data

Processing Information
  • GABEPRO™; GPM-888 curing agent is a pre-accelerated polymercaptan blend designed to harden epoxy resins in approximately 5 minutes. (Even in thin films and at low temperatures).
  • This material can be used directly in a two-part epoxy system. Or it may be further formulated to achieve your desired property balance. Care should be taken to avoid introducing iron contamination.
  • The catalyst, fillers, other additives and the equipment used should be selected carefully with avoidance of iron contamination in mind. Iron contamination in connection with oxygen in the atmosphere may cause skinning in some systems.
