Huntsman’s new highly reactive epoxy curing agent

12/14/2011 1:00:00 AM

A fast cure cycloaliphatic developed as an alternative to IPDA & 1,3-BAC

XTA-801 is a highly reactive fast cure cycloaliphatic amine used at low and ambient temperatures.  Developed as a potential alternative to IPDA (isophorone diamine) and 1,3-BAC (1,3 bis-aminomethyl cyclohexane).   With a gel time of just 47 minutes in DGEBA standard liquid epoxy resin, XTA-801 can be used alone or blended with other epoxy curing agents e.g. JEFFAMINE® D230.  Adding XTA-801 will increase glass transition temperature and decrease elongation and impact strength; the resulting system will produce a cured epoxy with properties between the XTA-801 and the other epoxy curative.  

XTA-801 key benefits are:
  • Highly reactive, fast curing at low & ambient temperatures
  • Fast strength development
  • Enhanced glass transition temperature, hardness & elastic modulus 
  • Good chemical and solvent resistance.  

XTA-801 is used in coatings, adhesives and composites as an epoxy curing agent.  For polyamide and Mannich base hardeners and as an alternative to IPDA and 1,3-BAC.

Technical datasheet: JEFFAMINE® D230
