The company said that its specialty amines such as DMAPAPA, TMPDA, DEAPA and APDEA offer the advantage of a multipurpose behavior in two-component systems, as they play a role both in catalysis and in the formation of the three-dimensional network, hence avoiding some of the drawbacks of traditional catalysts.
These resins are used in a large number of applications including adhesives, composites and paints.
The specialty amines are manufactured at Arkema’s La Chambre facility in the Savoie region of France. The amine range comprises ethylamines, isopropylamines, diethylhydroxylamine (DEHA), specialty amines, and applicative amines (foundry amines and Alpamine trademark range).
Additionally, the oxygenated solvents range mostly consists of hexylene glycol (HG, Hexasol trademark) methylisobutyl carbinol (MIBC), diacetone alcohol (DA), isophorone (IPHO), and methylisobutyl ketone (MIBK).
