Evonik Original Air Chemicals Ancamine 1618 Epoxy Hardener

Product introduction
Ancamine 1618 is a light-colored, low-viscosity, modified cycloaliphatic amine curing agent for use with liquid epoxy resins primarily at room or low temperature. Ancamine 1618 hardener provides a high-gloss finish with good chemical resistance for floors, industrial protective coatings, tank liners, and leak-proof container liners. Ancamine 1618 hardener is light in color and has good color stability, making it ideal for formulating varnishes and light bright color coatings.
