Application

ACTIRON® NXJ 60 is a versatile anionic catalyst adapted to accelerate the reaction of epoxy resins with a wide variety of hardener types such as, organic acid anhydrides, dicyandiamide, polyhydric phenol and aromatic amines. ACTIRON® NXJ 60 is characterized by a longer pot life than ones obtained with tertiary amines. ACTIRON® NXJ 60 is able to form perfectly cured resin systems by thermal treatment at medium temperature ( 80°C to 120°C).

ACTIRON® NXJ 60 provides:

  • Higher cross-linking density
  • Water solubility
  • Long pot life
  • High heat deformation temperature

ACTIRON® NXJ 60 is particularly suitable for the use in:

  • Thermosetting Coatings
  • Adhesives
  • Casting
  • Potting
  • Encapsulating
Method of Use and Recommended Levels
  • ACTIRON® NXJ 60 must be incorporated in the hardener. Directly addition to the epoxy resin will lead to a catalytic reaction. Amount to use can vary from 0.02 till 1%, calculated on solid binder, according to the requested reactivity.
