Classification of hardening agents used for epoxy resin adhesives.

ClassificationFeatures

Polyamine type hardening agentsAliphatic polyamine: the reaction is fast and heat generation is remarkable. Durable to water and organic solvent. Good adhesion.
Aliphatic polyamine: the reaction is fast and heat generation is remarkable. Durable to water and organic solvent. Good adhesion.
Polyamide: long pot life and low cost
Epoxy-adducted polyamine: high viscosity (useful to viscosity control).
Mannich-modified polyamine: good to low-temperature hardening.
Polythiol: good to low-temperature hardening polymer network structures are looser than those of polyamine. High water adsorption. Low durability to water.

CatalystsTertiary amine: catalyst of polyamine and as catalysts of polyamine and polyamide amine.
Imidazole: reacts as hardening agents and as catalysts of anhydride hardening agents.
