adhesives
ingredients designed for binding
Using the correct components is essential for enhancing adhesive performance, improving curing time, and achieving desired material properties. Accelerators are responsible for expediting the curing process, allowing adhesives to bond rapidly and effectively. Curing agents facilitate the cross-linking of adhesive molecules, leading to increased strength and durability. Plasticizers are vital for optimizing flexibility, viscosity, and adhesive flow, and ensuring compatibility with different substrates. With the right ingredients, adhesives deliver bonding solutions for various applications.
curing agents
The effectiveness and durability of adhesives depend significantly on the presence of curing agents. Curing agents, also known as crosslinking agents or hardeners, are essential components in adhesive formulations. They facilitate the curing process, which transforms liquid adhesives into strong, durable bonds. By promoting crosslinking reactions, curing agents enable adhesives to achieve superior mechanical strength, improved chemical resistance, and enhanced temperature stability.

infrastructure industrial maintenance coatings
Industrial coatings offer protective properties in particular corrosion prevention and weatherproofing. Many compounds can accelerate corrosion calling for the need for a robust and easy to maintain coating. Polyol-based polyurethane coatings exhibit good chemical resistance to cold and hot water, organic and inorganic acids, caustic, diesel fuel, gasoline, and other commonly encountered chemicals. Castorcin™ Polyol Series cures in a wide range of environments, protects against chemicals, and exhibits good UV exposure stability.
