Applicable Base Polymer Properties
The polymercaptans can be used to cure epoxy resin systems quickly. The primary advantages of epoxy adhesives cured with mercaptan curing agents are the following:
- Rapid Cure of Epoxies
- Low-Temperature Cure
- Thin-Film Cure
- Low Toxicity
- Light Color
- Excellent Adhesion
- 1:1 mix ratio – not critical
- Acceleration ability with other curatives, e.g. amines, polyamides, anhydrides, etc.
