Resulting Properties
Waterborne epoxy adhesives can be produced with epoxy emulsions and polyamide-amine curing agents. A typical starting formulation is shown for a self-leveling compound for concrete floors. This formulation can be used as either a coating or an adhesive. In either application, once the mixed emulsion is applied to the substrate the water must be evaporated. In the case of the adhesive application, this must be completed before non-porous substrates are mated. With the particular formulation presented above, the pot life is several hours at room temperature.
