Powder Coating Curatives

With careful curing agent selection and appropriate formulation, EPIKURE™ powder coating curatives can be used to formulate powder coatings with a wide range of processing and end-performance properties. Features and benefits include:

For metal substrates
Either dicyandiamide-based or phenolic hydroxyl-terminated
Typically dry-blended with our line of EPON™ solid epoxy resins (EPON Resin 2000 series)
Spray applied
Curing temperature range from 120 to 220°C
Useful in industrial, automotive and decorative coating applications
