Air Products Anquamine 287 Epoxy Curing Agent – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical class of Anquamine 287?

A: Anquamine 287 is an aliphatic polyamine-based epoxy curing agent, designed to provide rapid ambient-cure performance with low volatility and reduced irritation potential compared to conventional amines.


Q2: Is Anquamine 287 suitable for use in high-humidity or damp-surface applications?

A: Yes — Anquamine 287 exhibits good moisture tolerance and can cure effectively on slightly damp or high-humidity substrates, making it well-suited for field-applied industrial coatings and concrete repair systems where environmental control is limited.


Q3: How does Anquamine 287 compare to traditional DETA or TETA in terms of handling safety?

A: Anquamine 287 offers improved handling characteristics, including lower vapor pressure and reduced skin sensitization potential, supporting safer workplace handling without compromising reactivity or final film properties.


Q4: Can Anquamine 287 be used in formulations requiring FDA-compliant food-contact coatings?

A: Anquamine 287 is not pre-approved for direct food-contact applications; its suitability for such uses depends on full formulation evaluation and compliance verification by the end-user under applicable regulatory frameworks.


Q5: What types of epoxy resins is Anquamine 287 typically paired with?

A: It is commonly used with standard liquid bisphenol-A and bisphenol-F epoxy resins, as well as modified novolac epoxies, particularly in high-performance protective coatings, flooring, and adhesive systems requiring fast turnaround and ambient cure.
