Evonik Waterborne Epoxy Curing Agent Anquamine 287 – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of Anquamine 287 in waterborne epoxy systems?

A: Anquamine 287 is a polyamine-based curing agent specifically designed to react with waterborne epoxy resins, enabling ambient- or low-temperature cure to form durable, chemically resistant thermoset films with good adhesion and mechanical performance.


Q2: Is Anquamine 287 compatible with common waterborne epoxy dispersions?

A: Yes — Anquamine 287 has been formulated for compatibility with a broad range of commercially available anionic and nonionic waterborne epoxy resins, including those based on bisphenol-A and bisphenol-F backbones. Compatibility should be verified experimentally in the final formulation due to sensitivity to pH, ionic strength, and particle size distribution.


Q3: How does Anquamine 287 contribute to VOC reduction in coating formulations?

A: As a water-dispersible curing agent, Anquamine 287 enables fully waterborne epoxy coating systems with negligible organic solvent content, supporting compliance with stringent VOC regulations without compromising crosslink density or film integrity.


Q4: What are typical handling and storage recommendations for Anquamine 287?

A: Store in original sealed containers at temperatures between 5 °C and 30 °C, protected from freezing and excessive heat. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and atmospheric CO₂ during handling, as amine functionality may be affected. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when dispensing or mixing.


Q5: Can Anquamine 287 be used in food-contact or industrial maintenance applications?

A: Anquamine 287 is suitable for industrial maintenance and protective coatings where chemical resistance and durability are required. For food-contact applications, final formulation compliance must be assessed by qualified regulatory experts — Evonik does not provide pre-approval for specific end uses.
