- Storage
MHHPA-KB will react with water to form methylhexahydrophthalic acid. This is normally undesirable, so MHHPA 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 MHHPA-KB, consult the Dixie Chemical Company brochure "Epoxy Curing Agent Storage Requirements."

- Epoxy Formulations
Most applications use between 80-90 parts by weight MHHPA-KB with 100 parts bisphenol A liquid epoxy resins. MHHPA-KB was formulated with a variety of epoxy resins. Viscosity was measured at 25°C, and gel time was measured at 150°C. Samples were cured for 1 hour at 120°C, fol lowed by a post-cure of 1 hour at 220°C, and glass transition temperatures we re measured using a differential scanning calorimeter. The following table summarizes these results:
