Floor Coatings

ACCELERATOR 3130 is used to accelerate the reaction (cure time) between epoxy resins and amine hardeners. It is recommended for solvent-free, solvent-based, and waterborne coatings cured at ambient and low temperatures. The activity of ACCELERATOR 3130 is system-selective.

ARADUR® 22 is a low-viscosity aliphatic polyamine (meta-xylylenediamine).

ARADUR® 2975 Hardener is a modified cycloaliphatic polyamine that is used as a low viscosity, light color, and non-blushing hardener for the formulation of ambient cure two-component epoxy floorings and coatings. ARADUR® 2975 Hardener can be formulated with modified or unmodified bisphenol A and bisphenol F-based liquid epoxy resins.

ARADUR® 355 is a liquid polyamine-based curing agent and hardener, designed to enhance the bonding and curing processes in various industrial applications.

ARADUR® 3776 XW 55 is an aliphatic polyamine adduct in solution.

ARADUR® 46-1 is a polyamine-based chemical used in anti-corrosion coatings and industrial additives. It is specifically designed for use in epoxy mortars and flooring applications, providing enhanced durability and protection.

ARADUR® 46-2 S is a polyamine-based chemical used in anti-corrosion coatings and epoxy mortars. It enhances the durability and protective properties of these applications, ensuring long-lasting performance.

ARADUR® 53-1 S is a low-viscosity, formulated cycloaliphatic polyamine hardener.

ARADUR® 956-4 US is a fast-acting, liquid aliphatic polyamine epoxy curing agent.

ARALDITE® DY 3601 is a low viscosity epoxy resin based on a polypropylene glycol, designed to lower the viscosity and increase the flexibility and impact resistance of coatings, primers, floor toppings. Its addition to a system may also result in reduced chemical resistance and reactivity. It is usually added in amounts ranging from 5% to 30% on the binder (epoxy resin + hardener). ARALDITE® DY 3601 is 100% reactive. Unlike non-reactive plasticizers such as dibutyl phthalate, it is incorporated chemically into the epoxy system and will not diffuse from paint films.

ARALDITE® DY 3602 is a difunctional reactive diluent for epoxy resins.

ARALDITE® DY A diluent is a colorless, clear aliphatic glycidyl ether based on 2-ethylhexanol. It is primarily used as an additive to reduce the viscosity of liquid epoxy resins. The relatively long alkyl chain structure of ARALDITE® DY-A, combined with the polar epoxy group, results in efficient viscosity reduction and reduced surface tension. Epoxy resins modified with ARALDITE® DY-A diluent exhibit good wetting and leveling properties at low diluent concentrations.

ARALDITE® DY F is a difunctional, aliphatic, reactive diluent for epoxy resins.

ARALDITE® DY H MBC is a resin technically identical to ARALDITE® DY H but distinguished by its associated REDcert2 certificate, which ensures that 100% of the fossil raw materials required for its production were replaced by sustainably certified biomass. In this document, ARALDITE® DY H refers to both resin variants interchangeably.

ARALDITE® DY K is a cresyl glycidyl ether (CGE). Liquid epoxy resins, based on bisphenol A and epichlorohydrin, are sometimes too viscous for use in certain applications. The viscosity of liquid resins can be reduced by the addition of solvents, plasticizers or reactive diluents. When formulating thick coatings, the incorporation of solvents is not recommended, since it is impossible to drive them off completely. Plasticizers cannot be tolerated in many electrical applications or where heat resistance properties are required. Reactive diluents are free-flowing compounds of low molecular weight (130-210) that take part in the curing reaction and considerably decrease the viscosity of an epoxy resin system. Although the addition of reactive diluents will always have some influence on the end properties of the cured resin/hardener system, they represent the best choice of viscosity reduction. Araldite DY K is less volatile and shows good resistance to water. Araldite DY K can be added to epoxy resins in quantities of 2-20% by weight. Additions of more than 20% cause considerable deterioration the properties of the cured system.
