Advanced hardener systems to prevent corrosion with Ancamine® 2836

Corrosion remains a significant global challenge, deteriorating steel and metal structures, including bridges, buildings, ships, and pipelines. Some studies estimate around 5 tons of steel are lost worldwide every second due to rusting, and according to the World Corrosion Organization (WCO), corrosion costs amount to approximately 3.5 % of a country's GDP, translating to billions annually. Modern coating systems, such as chemical-resistant coatings, have proven effective in mitigating these damages by protecting metal structures from adverse environments and harsh substances.

Chemical-resistant coatings are versatile and widely used across various applications and industry sectors including: Construction, Protective & Marine, Oil & Gas, Food & Beverages, Water Treatment and Rubber Manufacturing. These coatings not only shield materials from corrosion but also protect industrial assets and equipment like drilling platforms, bridges, pumps, valves, and tanks from aggressive chemical substances.

Over several decades Evonik’s  Crosslinkers business line, has made a key contribution to preserving value by developing innovative curing agents for the coatings industry. The new innovative curing agent Ancamine® 2836 is an EH&S friendly multi-functional Mannich base amine with excellent all-round chemical and corrosion resistance properties, which makes it a valuable asset in the fight against corrosion and chemicals exposures in a wide range of applications.

Key features include:

• Versatility: Suitable for chemically resistant coatings, protective coatings, tank linings, and low-temperature cure coatings.
• Fast Cure Times: Reduces production time and boosts productivity.
• Compatibility: Works well with various epoxy resins, enabling high-performance coatings with excellent adhesion and durability.
• High Glass Transition Temperature (Tg): Provides a good balance of working life and enhances Tg values when used as a co-curing agent with other cycloaliphatic curing agents.
• Two-Pack Epoxy Formulations: Specifically designed for use in these systems.
