Cardolite® NX-5445

Modified phenalkamine. Cardolite NX-5445 acts as 78% solids, low viscosity adducted epoxy curing agent designed for high solids applications. It exhibits extremely fast cure, even at very low temperatures, allowing application of 2 coats per day at temperatures down to 5°C, while still maintaining a workable pot life. Provides hardness rapidly for applications requiring quick dry to handle. Possesses good adhesion on wet or otherwise unprepared surfaces, and can provide outstanding water resistance and corrosion protection. Applications include heavy duty industrial, protective, and marine coatings. Coating applications requiring fast dry to handle times with good flexibility can benefit from this curing agent’s ability to develop hardness quickly while not becoming too brittle.
