Chemicals Industry Need
for Fast Epoxy Curing
Seattle, WA, USA--(Jobwerx News)--Huntsman, manufacturer of chemicals
for the plastics, automotive, aviation and other industries provides fast
curing Polyetheramines for the epoxy curatives market.
Huntsman Corporation recently introduced a new fast curing polyetheramine,
JEFFAMINE® XTJ-590 amine. XTJ-590 provides a cure speed that is approximately
four times faster than Huntsman’s popular JEFFAMINE® D-230 product. It
can be used alone or blended with standard polyetheramines for epoxy curing,
polyamide preparation or applications requiring high purity reactive diamines.
“With XTJ-590, we are addressing a technical need in the epoxy curatives
market by providing a curative with fast cure, flexibility, and low color,”
says Alan Pekarik, Performance Specialties Market Manager for North America.
“XTJ-590 is a relatively low molecular weight, reactive polyether diamine.
As an epoxy curing agent it provides moderately rapid cures, and epoxy
systems with good mechanical properties, excellent impact and thermal
shock resistance.”
Huntsman is a global manufacturer and marketer of commodity and differentiated
chemicals. Its operating companies manufacture basic products for a variety
of global industries including chemicals, plastics, automotive, aviation,
footwear, paints and coatings, construction, technology, agriculture,
health care, textiles, detergent, personal care, furniture, appliances
and packaging. Originally known for pioneering innovations in packaging,
and later, rapid and integrated growth in petrochemicals, Huntsman today
has revenues of $11.5 billion, 11,300 employees and 62 operations in 22
countries.
JEFFAMINE® amines and other polyether compounds
The JEFFAMINE® polyoxyalkyleneamines are a part of an ever-expanding family
of polyether compound products. They contain primary amino groups attached
to the terminus of a polyether backbone. They are thus "polyether amines."
The polyether backbone is based either on propylene oxide (PO), ethylene
oxide (EO), or mixed EO/PO. (Newer products may contain other backbone
segments as well.)
The JEFFAMINE® product family consists of monoamines, diamines, and triamines,
which are available in a variety of molecular weights, ranging up to 5,000.
The wide range of molecular weights, amine functionality, and oxide type
and distribution provides flexibility in synthetic design of compounds
made from JEFFAMINE® products. For the most part, JEFFAMINE® products
undergo typical amine reactions and are low viscosity liquids, exhibiting
low vapor pressure.
