Products in Adhesives & Sealants: Curing Agent

Resicure® EMI-24 is commonly used as a sole curing agent or as a dicy and anhydride cure accelerator in epoxy resin based formulations. Typical loading level as a sole curing agent is about 1-5 phr and as a dicy and anhydride cure accelerator is about 0.5 – 3.0 phr. Resicure EMI-24 LV is a lower viscosity version of Resicure EMI-24.

Omnirad 379 is a highly efficient UV-curing agent used to initiate the photo polymerization of unsaturated prepolymers in combination with mono- or multifunctional monomers. Omnirad 379 is especially suitable for pigmented UV-curable systems, photoresists and printing plates. Its excellent solubility (compared to Omnirad 369) makes it easy to incorporate into nearly all formulations.

Omnirad 2100 is a highly efficient liquid curing agent to initiate radical polymerization of unsaturated resins after exposure to UV light such as those based on a prepolymer – e.g., acrylates and unsaturated polyesters – in combination with mono- or multifunctional monomers as reactive thinners. It is well suitable for formulations in which Omnirad TPO is used. Omnirad 2100 provides all the handling advantages of a liquid product. In thicker coatings Omnirad 2100 offers improved bottom curing compared with that of Omnirad TPO. It is especially suitable for white-pigmented formulations with minimal yellowing after curing and for coatings with low pigment volume concentration. Therefore Omnirad 2100 can be offered in almost all applications as a one-to-one replacement for Omnirad TPO with certain advantages.

Omnirad 369 is a highly efficient UV-curing agent used to initiate the photo polymerization of chemically unsaturated prepolymers – e.g., acrylates – in combination with mono- or multifunctional monomers.
