- Product Features
Phenalkamine grade NX-8101 is designed for cost effective water-based concrete epoxy primers and self- levelers that require quick return-to-service, excellent adhesion to concrete and top coats, and superior durability.; This new low odor epoxy curing agent is supplied in water and does not contain or require any solvents in the formulation to deliver excellent performance.; Its good compatibility with standard liquid epoxy and solid epoxy dispersions, and easy reducibility in water, broadens its use and allows for cost effective industrial coatings.
- Test Conclusions
- Competitive (WBCA)
- Storage Condition
Cardolite products may absorb moisture and carbon dioxide when left in open containers, which could result in increased viscosity, discoloration, reduction of reactivity, and/or crystallization of the products. These products should be kept tightly sealed in their original containers when not in use, and stored in a cool, dry place that does not exceed 40°C.
