curing agents
ingredients that promote strong, durable bonds
The curing process brings several benefits to adhesives. It allows for faster bond formation, reducing assembly time and increasing productivity in industrial settings. Curing agents also enhance the bond's integrity, preventing adhesive failure under mechanical stress or extreme environmental conditions. This reliability is crucial in industries where safety, longevity, and performance are critical factors. By carefully selecting and controlling the curing agent, manufacturers can optimize curing conditions, ensure consistent bond strength, and minimize variations in adhesive properties.
The effectiveness and durability of adhesives depend significantly on the presence of curing agents. Curing agents, also known as crosslinking agents or hardeners, are essential components in adhesive formulations. They facilitate the curing process, which transforms liquid adhesives into strong, durable bonds. By promoting crosslinking reactions, curing agents enable adhesives to achieve superior mechanical strength, improved chemical resistance, and enhanced temperature stability. Indapro™ 58 Series are used as cross-linking agents that react with resins to coupled directly into the cured system.
cross-linking agents
Indapro™ 58 Series are used as cross-linking agents that react with resins to coupled directly into the cured system. Indapro Curing Agents are liquid, allowing for easier handling and mixing with resin. Offering excellent transparency and electrical resistance, these curing agents deliver in a wide range of applications. Indapro 58 Series is anhydride-based allowing for more customization when formulating with other ingredients.
reduce glue discoloration with intermediates
infrastructure waterproof wood adhesives
Wood glue is specially formulated to penetrate wood fibers. Popular with professionals in construction and woodworkers when bonding high resin lumber, polyurethane glue is used to achieve a complete waterproof adhesive. Indapro™ Intermediate is used in manufacturing waterproof wood glue where working time and cure time are crucial. It also helps minimize the discoloration that can occur when bonding high-resin lumber woods.
providing strong environmental resistance
infrastructure industrial maintenance coatings
Industrial coatings offer protective properties in particular corrosion prevention and weatherproofing. Many compounds can accelerate corrosion calling for the need for a robust and easy to maintain coating. Polyol-based polyurethane coatings exhibit good chemical resistance to cold and hot water, organic and inorganic acids, caustic, diesel fuel, gasoline, and other commonly encountered chemicals. Castorcin™ Polyol Series cures in a wide range of environments, protects against chemicals, and exhibits good UV exposure stability.
