Essential Properties


The properties of the curing agent are essential in controlling the curing of the epoxy resin and the properties of the finished product. Specific characteristic values for the reaction with standard resins based on diglycidylether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) are available for the Baxxodur portfolio:


Curing agent

  • Amine number
  • Viscosity
  • Density

Cured resin

  • Glass transition temperature
  • Impact strength
  • Tensile strength
  • Tensile modulus
  • Elongation at break
  • Flexural strength
  • Flexural modulus
  • Shore D hardness

Curing process

  • Gel time
  • Reaction enthalpy
  • Peak exotherm

 

  • T-peel test
  • Solvent resistance
  • Chemical resistance
  • Water permeability
  • Lap shear strength
  • Compressive strength
  • Density
  • Degree of cure


The broad portfolio of Baxxodur curing agents allows the characteristics to be adjusted flexibly according to the required properties and application.
