Evonik Ancamine K54 epoxy accelerator

Product Introduction
Ancamine K54 curing agent is an industrial-grade product of 3-(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol, a general-purpose Lewis base catalyst for curing epoxy resins. It is used both as a curing agent (adhesive applications) and as an activator for other curing agents including amidoamines, amine adducts and polyamides (coatings, castings, flooring, concrete and adhesive applications ). It is also the preferred catalyst for liquid epoxy resins and liquid polysulfide blends used in body solder, sealant and concrete adhesive applications. In addition, it is an efficient catalyst for epoxy resins cured with polycarboxylic acids and anhydrides (casting and lamination applications), as well as for isocyanate/polyol and isocyanate trimerization reactions (isocyanurate foam applications).
