Technicure® IPDU-8, N-3-(dimethylamino) carbonylaminomethyl-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexyl-N,N-dimethyl-urea, is a substituted urea. It is used as a dicyandiamide (DICY) accelerator in one-component epoxy resin based formulations. Typically the product is used with epoxy resin and dicyandiamide between 1-3 phr. The loading level of an accelerator will provide balance of low temperature reactivity and formulation shelf stability.
Among all substituted ureas as DICY cure accelerators, IPDU-8 offers the most latency.
