Hexion EPIKURE 3270 Fatty Amine Curing Agent – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of EPIKURE 3270 in epoxy systems?

A: EPIKURE 3270 is a fatty amine-based curing agent designed to react with epoxy resins, enabling crosslinking at ambient or slightly elevated temperatures. It delivers good flexibility, chemical resistance, and adhesion—particularly suited for coatings, adhesives, and sealants requiring low viscosity and extended pot life.


Q2: How does EPIKURE 3270 compare to conventional aliphatic amines in terms of handling and reactivity?

A: Compared to standard aliphatic amines, EPIKURE 3270 offers reduced volatility and lower odor, improving workplace safety and operator comfort. Its reactivity is moderated by the fatty chain structure, resulting in longer working time (pot life) while still achieving practical cure development at room temperature.


Q3: Is EPIKURE 3270 compatible with common epoxy resins used in industrial coatings?

A: Yes—EPIKURE 3270 demonstrates broad compatibility with liquid bisphenol-A and bisphenol-F epoxy resins, as well as novolac epoxies. It is commonly formulated into high-solids and solvent-free coating systems where balanced cure speed, film toughness, and substrate wetting are critical.


Q4: What are typical storage and handling recommendations for this product?

A: Store in tightly sealed containers under dry, cool conditions, away from moisture, strong oxidizing agents, and direct sunlight. Due to its amine functionality, it may absorb CO₂ and moisture from air over time—therefore, minimize exposure during dispensing and consider inert gas blanketing for long-term bulk storage.


Q5: Can EPIKURE 3270 be used in food-contact or potable water applications?

A: EPIKURE 3270 is not pre-qualified for food-contact or potable water applications. Formulators intending such use must conduct full regulatory evaluation—including migration testing and compliance verification against applicable regional requirements—based on the final cured system and intended service conditions.
