Technicure® NanoDicy is finest grade of Dicyandiamide available. Because of its extremely fine particle size, Technicure NanoDicy will react more fully into epoxy systems, allowing a faster cure without sacrificing pot life. To inhibit clumping and improve flow, >1% fumed silica is used. Typically used with epoxy resins (EEW 190) between 6-8phr, the reactivity of dicyandiamide increases inversely proportional to the particle size. Accelerators that have minimal effect on latency while decreasing the activation temperature to less than 100C can be used to improve processing properties. Some suggested accelerators for D-5 include Technicure LC-80, Technicure LC-100 any of the substituted ureas, including Technicure MDU-11, Technicure PDU-17 or
Technicure TDU-20. These accelerators will decrease the activation temperature of dicyandiamide, without compromising, and perhaps enhancing performance properties.
