Solvent-Containing Coatings
Araldite® GT 6084 exhibits a high and uniform rate of esterification, and when combined with various fatty acids, is highly suitable for the production of epoxy esters. Such esters can be formulated into vehicles for a wide range of coating applications. These coatings exhibit excellent adhesion, flexibility, chemical resistance, hardness and abrasion resistance, making them particularly attractive in metal decorating and maintenance enamels.
Powder Coatings
Araldite® GT 6084 can also be used to formulate powder coatings when cured with accelerated dicyandiamide, dicyandiamide derivatives (like Hardener HT 2844), or various polyester resins with carboxyl end-groups.
