EPIKURE 3295, a very low viscosity aliphatic amine adduct, is recommended for curing epoxy resins at room or moderately elevated temperatures. Its reduced vapor pressure, less critical combining ratio, superior electrical properties, and non-fuming characteristics make it safer and more convenient to handle than the aliphatic polyamines such as diethylenetriamine. EPIKURE 3295 is ideally suited for many casting, laminating, and impregnation operations and certain coating applications. It can be diluted with water and is useful as a curing agent for aqueous resin systems.
Application Areas/Suggested Uses

EPIKURE Curing Agent 3295 is relatively reactive and imparts a high degree of rigidity and mechanical strength to cured systems. The pot life, exothermic temperature rise and curing time of compositions containing EPIKURE 3295 depend on batch size, filler type, filler loading, and temperature. For example, a 1-pound batch of a mixture containing EPON™ Resin 828 and EPIKURE Curing Agent 3295 blended at room temperature has a pot life of less than 20 minutes and develops a maximum temperature
