For many decades Dicyandiamide (DICY) has been the thermo latent curing agent of choice for structural 1K epoxy adhesives. But DICYs come with one big downside: The very high activation temperatures needed to achieve acceptable curing times. Accelerators can make an improvement, but always with the drawback of reduced shelf-life. To support formulators and offer them a great deal of flexibility for the design of low temperature curing structural 1K epoxy adhesives, Evonik has developed a series of alternative thermo latent curing agents: the Ancamine® Specialties range. Watch this recorded webinar to learn how their versatile toolbox of epoxy curing agents, including Ancamine® 2014 AS/FG, Ancamine® 2337S and Ancamine® 2441 modified amines can help you achieve curing temperatures from as low as 70°C, fast green strength development and glass transition temperatures of up to 114°C. In addition, you will see how Evonik’s amines can also be utilized as an accelerator, or co-accelerator for DICY-based adhesive systems. Learn how many benefits of Evonik’s Ancamine® Specialties range of thermo latent hardeners and accelerators can contribute to improved efficiency and sustainability with their excellent shelf-life stabilities even at elevated temperature storage - the most important prerequisites for the design of structural 1K epoxy adhesives developed for low temperature curing processes.
