OMICURE® Curing Agents, Accelerators & Catalysts
Curing Agents
● Dicyandiamide Curing Agent - Typical use levels in DGEBA from 5-10 phr.
- Common curative for 1k epoxy systems
⇒ composites and prepregs
⇒ automotive, adhesives and coatings
● Aromatic Amine Curing Agent
● Catalyst
Accelerators
● Chemical Structure
● Substituted Urea Accelerators
- Accelerators used with Dicyandiamide to lower required cure temperatures and increase speed of reaction
⇒ Lower the reaction temperature and time for dicy-epoxy cure
- Optimum level ≈ 1-5 phr
