- Storage
ECA 100NC will react with water to form diacids. This is normally undesirable, so ECA 100NC should be stored in such a way that it is carefully protected from moisture contamination. For more details on the design of bulk storage for ECA 100NC, consult the Dixie Chemical Company brochure "Epoxy Curing Agent Storage Requirements."

- Formulation Example
ECA 100NC was formulated with a variety of epoxy resins. Viscosity was measured at 25°C, and gel time was measured at 100°C. Samples were cured for 1 hour at 120°C, followed by a post-cure of 1 hour at 220°C, and glass transition temperatures were measured using a differential scanning calorimeter. The following table summarizes these results:
- Compatible Polymers and Resins
- Epoxies (EP)
