Ancamine 1769 Curing Agent

Technical Datasheet

DESCRIPTION TYPICAL PROPERTIES

Ancamine 1769 is a hydroxyalkylated polyamine for Appearance Clear colourless liquid
use as a room temperature curing agent for liquid Colour 1 (Gardner) 4
epoxy resin. It is designed to minimise the Viscosity 2 @ 25 °C, [mPa.s] 600-900
undesirable skin irritation potential associated with Amine Value 3, [mg KOH/g] 975
triethylenetetramine from which it is derived. Cured Specific Gravity @ 21 °C, [g/ml] 1.01
systems based on this product exhibit good Equivalent Wt/{H} 48
mechanical properties. Applications include potting, Recommended use Level 4, [PHR] 25
small and heavily filled castings, autobody patch
repair kits, laminates, and gel coats.
