Q1: What is the primary application area for EPIKURE 8536-MY-60?
A: EPIKURE 8536-MY-60 is specifically designed as a waterborne epoxy curing agent for high-performance, low-VOC industrial coatings—particularly in protective and decorative applications such as concrete floor coatings, metal primers, and tank linings where water dispersion and reduced solvent content are required.
Q2: How does EPIKURE 8536-MY-60 differ from conventional amine-based epoxy hardeners?
A: Unlike traditional solvent-borne or solid amine hardeners, EPIKURE 8536-MY-60 is a pre-dispersed, anionic waterborne system offering improved handling safety, reduced odor, and enhanced compatibility with waterborne epoxy resins—enabling stable one-component or two-component formulations without extensive surfactant adjustment.
Q3: Can EPIKURE 8536-MY-60 be used in ambient-cure systems?
A: Yes, it is formulated to provide effective ambient-cure performance in waterborne epoxy systems, delivering good early hardness development and chemical resistance at room temperature—though full property development may benefit from controlled humidity and moderate temperatures during film formation.
Q4: Is EPIKURE 8536-MY-60 compatible with common waterborne epoxy resins?
A: It demonstrates broad compatibility with commercially available anionic and non-ionic waterborne epoxy dispersions, including those based on diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) and modified aliphatic epoxies—formulators are advised to conduct compatibility and stability testing under intended processing conditions.
Q5: What are key storage and handling considerations?
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 during handling, and ensure thorough mixing prior to use—do not dilute with tap water unless compatibility has been verified in the target formulation.
