VERSAMID® 140

VERSAMID® 140 Curing Agent is a medium to low-viscosity, reactive polyamide designed for use with solid or liquid epoxy resins to provide tough, chemical-resistant thermoset coating applications that cure at room temperature. This curing agent is also useful in adhesive applications. VERSAMID® 140 Curing Agent and epoxy resin coating systems are more chemical and solvent-resistant than VERSAMID® 115 systems and generally lower in viscosity than VERSAMID® 125 systems. It offers a unique combination of hardness and flexibility, along with the highest chemical and solvent resistance of the dimer-based polyamide resin series. All systems based on VERSAMID® 140 Curing Agent show good resistance against aliphatic hydrocarbons, lubricants, alkaline solutions, and diluted acids, with good to fair resistance against atmospheric agents and water.
