Durable, Smart, Innovative: ddchem solutions for epoxy flooring

The installation of a new floor is a fundamental activity that needs to be carefully evaluated. Depending on the material, substrate preparation is a key factor for time, effort, and cost saving but also to assure a high-quality result.

We will analyse 3 different ddchem hardeners by layers, taking into consideration the hardness development, the chemical resistance, the water-spotting resistance, the carbamation resistance (blushing effect), and the yellowing resistance test.

Biobased and C-14 Analysis: Best Way to start with Sustainability

‘Biobased’ is an interesting term used for epoxy hardeners. This case study is all about explaining sustainable processes with the concept of bio-based ingredients and carbon neutrality in the world of coatings. The identification of the best raw material suppliers is required to confirm and certify this point to create a chemistry that you can trust!

Case Study

A Low-viscosity Solvent-Free polyamide for High Solid epoxy Coating

While conventional polyamides have high viscosity require an additional solvent to be able to apply on the surfaces, ddchem has developed a unique product that addresses all these issues. ITAMID F is the pure solvent-free polyamide curing agent which can be added to the epoxy resins to obtain room temperature curing and hardening. This document is intended to explain the benefits of using ITAMID F as a curing agent for high solid coatings.

Case Study

Flexible Epoxy Systems

Epoxy systems find usage in many applications thanks to their outstanding properties such as excellent adhesion to numerous substrates, good mechanical properties, high resistance to humidity and chemicals, and long durability. All these properties combined, make epoxy systems a versatile product for coatings, adhesive and civil engineering markets.
