Phenalkamine Epoxy Curing Agent

Phenalkamine Epoxy Curing Agent
Phenalkamine Redener is a unique CNSL Cashew Shell Oil based curing agent with inherent properties to cure epoxy resins at low temperatures down to 0°C in high humidity conditions with excellent surface tolerance and suitable flexibility.
Phenalkamine is used in the formulation of epoxy resin systems. Phenalkamine is known for its high performance, durability and chemical resistance and is commonly used in a wide variety of applications, such as marine coatings, tank linings and industrial floors.
Phenalkamine epoxy curing agent can cure at low temperatures and in the presence of moisture, making it suitable for use in harsh environmental conditions. It can also provide excellent adhesion to a wide variety of substrates, including steel, concrete and other metals.
In forced-process industrial coating applications, phenalkamine can help save energy by reducing furnace process temperatures or improve process efficiency through increased production line speeds. Finally, rapid curing can also help protect coating production from coating damage.
Phenalkamine curing agent is a Mannich base obtained by reacting cardanol, a liquid extract of cashew nut shell, an aldehyde compound, such as formaldehyde, and amines.
Phenalkamine curing agent used in epoxy protective and industrial coatings is a coating made from a two-component epoxy resin system. These coatings are known for their durability, chemical resistance and ability to withstand harsh environments. They are commonly used in industrial and commercial environments to protect surfaces from corrosion, abrasion and chemical damage. Epoxy coatings come in a variety of colors and finishes, and can be applied to concrete, metal and other surfaces.
Epoxy paint cannot be used effectively without component B – curing agent, phenalkamine is a non-toxic curing agent, compatible with most Epoxy paints, most commonly E44, E51, fast curing ability , low price, phenalkamine is a reasonable choice for many paint manufacturers to reduce input costs of raw materials.
