Phenalkamine Hardner
Technical Data Sheet
VIJ 20540 is a low viscosity, solvent-free phenalkamine curing agent designed for epoxy coating applications. It has excellent rapid cure properties, even at low temperatures, offers very good chemical resistance, and provides good adhesion on wet or otherwise unprepared surfaces. Heavy duty industrial, protective, and marine service coatings can benefit from this product’s outstanding water resistance and corrosion protection.
Properties
Applications
- 1. This product is usable in high solids or solvent free surface
tolerant marine, industrial maintenance, protective and floor coatings.
- 2. Good chemical resistance and suitability for contact with
potable water* make this curing agent especially acceptable for concrete or metal tank linings and pipe coatings.
- 3. It can be used for coating applications under cold and
humid conditions, even over damp and poorly prepared surfaces.
- 4. This product’s fast cure and good hardness make it ideal for
applications requiring fast return to service. It can be use as adhesives and Surface tolerant primers for metallic * Tested at recommended phr with liquid epoxy resin EEW equal to 190 Properties Typical Value Appearance Reddish Brown Liquid Color (Gardner) 16 max.
