CURING AGENT CHARACTERISTICS DILUTION PROFILE Anquamine 721 waterborne curing agent exhibits good viscosity reduction upon dilution with water. Figure 1 represents the viscosity dilution profiles of Anquamine 721 compared to Epilink® 360 and Epilink 701. Epilink 360 is an industrial standard water soluble polyamide and exhibits high viscosity retention on dilution. Experimental curing agent, Anquamine 721 offers the benefit of a system which shows good viscosity on dilution with retention of viscosity at low solids for cost effective concrete primer and paint applications. This property is ideal to formulate and apply high body paint at low solids. 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 % Solids V is c o s it y @ 2 3 °C ( P a .s ) Epilink 360 Epilink 701 Anquamine 721 Figure 1 – Dilution profile Epilink® 360, Epilink 701 and Anquamine 721 POT LIFE PROFILE The viscosity profile of experimental curing agent Anquamine 721 exhibits a stable viscosity for at least 60 minutes to yield cured coatings with a high and constant gloss and hardness throughout the pot life. After 60-90 minutes a sharp increase in viscosity represents a visible end of pot-life. 0 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 0 10 30 60 90 120 Time (mins) V is c o s it y ( m P a .s ) 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 S p e c u la r G lo s s Viscosity 60° Gloss Figure 2 – Viscosity profile and 60° Gloss of Anquamine 721 with Liquid Epoxy Resin COATING PROPERTIES 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 Anquamine 721 P e rs o z H a rd n e s s @ 2 3 °C 1 Day 7 Day 14 Day 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Anquamine 721 B K T h in F il m S e t T im e ( h o u rs ) Phase II Phase III Figure 3 – Hardness Development and Dry Speed of Anquamine 721 with Liquid Epoxy Resin @ 23°C Figure 3 shows the hardness development and Beck Koller, Thin Film Set Times of Anquamine 721 cured with an unmodified Bisphenol A diglycidyl ether epoxy resin using a mix ratio of 150 PHR. Experimental curing agent, Anquamine 721 yields coatings with an ultimate hardness of approximately 300 as measured by Persoz pendulum hardness with undiluted liquid epoxy resin. It is recommended to use Anquamine 721 at advised stoichiometry of 150PHR (EEW=190). Anquamine 721 can be used at 10-15% above the recommended loading to accelerate hardness development and increase ultimate hardness by 25% without negatively impacting other properties. RECOMMENDED EPOXY RESINS Experimental Curing Agent, Anquamine 721 exhibits good compatibility with standard liquid epoxy resins based on Bisphenol A or F. Reactive diluent modified epoxy resin will offer improved handling and formulating latitude within coating formulations. As with all systems, the inclusion of diluents will retard the hardness development and ultimate hardness of coated films. Resins modified with reactive diluents, such as Epodil® 748 or hexanediol diglycidyl ether, exhibit very good compatibility and produce films of high clarity and gloss. A modification level of approximately 10% to yield a resin viscosity of approx. 2,000mPa.s is ideal to give a good balance of handling and property development. DISPERSANTS / DEFOAMERS / WETTING Defoamers such as Surfynol® DF62 and BYK 045 are very suitable for use in coating formulations to give optimum air release and surface properties. ZetaSperse™ 1600 and Disperbyk 190 can be used to effectively aid in wetting out pigments and increasing flow and levelling properties to give a system which yields good surface and flow properties. RHEOLOGY MODIFIERS The Rheology of formulations with Anquamine 721 can be effectively controlled with the use of Thixotropic agents such as polyurethane thickeners and Bentonite clays. Tafigel® PUR-55 (Münzing-Chemie) has shown good Thixotropic properties in paint formulations with Anquamine 721, allowing for good application viscosity and anti- sag performance. However, due to the inherent thixotropy of Anquamine 721 systems can be formulated without the need of external thickeners. START POINT FORMULATION GUIDELINE GREY MATT PRIMER (ROLLER, BRUSH & SPRAY), WATER DILUTABLE This formulation is ideally suited as a primer or topcoat for concrete floor coatings at 100- 300 micron applied film thickness.
