PARALOID™ AE-1285 Acrylic Curing Agent

PARALOID™ AE-1285 Acrylic Curing Agent by Dow Chemical is a high solids acrylic resin. Acts as a curing agent. It can be formulated with epoxy resins to a VOC at or below 3.5 lbs/gallon (420 grams/liter) in ambient cure formulations. It is light stable for long lasting performance. Offers a lower cost alternative to acrylic urethanes with similar performance. Provides crosslinking at ambient temperature. When PARALOID™ AE-1285 Acrylic Curing Agent is used with "aliphatic," sorbitol based epoxy resins, a unique balance of properties is obtained which may be of interest to the epoxy formulator. Specifically, the coatings are more flexible and develop their ultimate propertyes faster. Used for isocyanate-free, high-solids and durable topcoats.
