Q1: What is the primary application area for EPIKURE 8535-W-50?
A: EPIKURE 8535-W-50 is specifically designed as a waterborne polyamine curing agent for epoxy resins in high-performance, low-VOC industrial coatings—particularly for protective coatings on metal substrates, including primers and intermediate coats in automotive, rail, and general industrial applications.
Q2: How does EPIKURE 8535-W-50 differ from solvent-based epoxy curing agents?
A: Unlike traditional solvent-based amine hardeners, EPIKURE 8535-W-50 is supplied as a stable aqueous dispersion, enabling formulators to significantly reduce VOC content while maintaining good pot life, film formation, and corrosion resistance—without requiring major reformulation of existing waterborne epoxy systems.
Q3: Is EPIKURE 8535-W-50 compatible with standard bisphenol A and bisphenol F epoxy dispersions?
A: Yes, it is formulated for compatibility with common waterborne epoxy resins, including both anionic and non-ionic stabilized dispersions of bisphenol A and bisphenol F types. Optimal performance typically requires adjustment of pH, mixing order, and shear conditions during let-down.
Q4: What are the key handling and storage recommendations?
A: Store in original sealed containers at temperatures between 5 °C and 30 °C, away from freezing and direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged exposure to high humidity or contamination with incompatible materials such as strong acids or oxidizing agents. Stir gently before use to ensure homogeneity.
