Technicure® LC-100, is an encapsulated solid amine ground to about an 8 micron particle size for easy dispersion and to avoid settling. When added to either liquid or solid epoxy resins such as Bisphenol A type or epoxy Novolacs LC-100 displays a pot life of over six months at room temperature and can be cured as low as 100C. When used as an accelerator for low viscosity systems, such as epoxy/acid anhydrides, LC-100 cures at roughly the same speed as other tertiary amines, such as BDMA, but exhibits pot lifes of over 8 weeks at room temperature. This aspect of LC-100 makes it ideal for vacuum impregnation, filament winding, and composites tooling. When used as a curing agent, lap shears of over 4000 psi can be attained. LC-100 can be combined with LC-80 to attain a synergistic effect, improving pot life and reducing the temperature of cure.

ADVANTAGES

• Longest Pot Life with epoxy resins

• Fast Cure

• High Adhesion

• Excellent Accelerator for DICY and Anhydrides
