Principal properties: | Principal applications: | ||||||||||
- Polyamides offer low toxicity, good flexibility and toughness, long pot life and good water/corrosion resistance. | - Polyamides (adducts) find use in solvent-based, two component coatings (e.g., primers and finishes), coal tar epoxy coatings, adhesives, putties, sealants, cable jointing and electrical encapsulation. | ||||||||||
- Polyamide adducts provide good compatibility (without induction period) and better cure under adverse conditions than standard polyamides. | - Ketimine polyamides mostly are applied to cationic electro-deposition coating systems, also used for one-pack epoxy composites. | ||||||||||
- Ketimine polyamides are similar to the performance of standard polyamides, and have better cure under high humid conditions and longer pot life. | - Amidoamine usually is applied to civil engineering (e.g., concrete bonding, crack injection, flooring, tile grouts, etc.), solvent-free/high-solids coatings, adhesives, electrical encapsulation and wet lay-up laminating. | ||||||||||
- Amidoamine exhibits low viscosity, very good adhesion (particularly to concrete and damp substrates) and good cure under humid conditions. |
