Hexion Polyamide Curing Agent EPIKURE 3175 – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of EPIKURE 3175 in epoxy systems?

A: EPIKURE 3175 is a polyamide-based curing agent designed to react with epoxy resins, enabling crosslinking and development of mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and thermal stability in the cured network.


Q2: Is EPIKURE 3175 suitable for ambient-cure applications?

A: Yes — it is formulated to provide effective cure at room temperature, making it well-suited for coatings, adhesives, and repair compounds where elevated oven temperatures are impractical or undesirable.


Q3: How does EPIKURE 3175 compare to aliphatic amine curing agents in terms of handling and safety?

A: As a polyamide derivative, EPIKURE 3175 offers lower volatility and reduced skin sensitization potential compared to many low-molecular-weight aliphatic amines, contributing to improved workplace safety and easier handling during formulation and application.


Q4: Can EPIKURE 3175 be used in high-solids or solvent-free epoxy formulations?

A: Yes — its viscosity and reactivity profile support compatibility with high-solids and 100% solids epoxy systems, enabling formulators to meet VOC reduction goals without compromising cure performance or final film properties.
