- RECOMMENDED FORMULATION USE
EC-326 is recommended for use as an epoxy curative to improve toughness, hydrophobicity, and hydrolytic stability. A one-to-one equivalent ratio of EC-326 to a difunctional epoxy will (depending on the catalyst used) cure to a thermoplastic resin. To form a thermoset, a twenty equivalent percent excess, or more, of epoxy is recommended. Standard epoxy catalysts such as amines, imidizoles, and Lewis acids work well to cure the EC-326 with epoxy resins.
