Paladin offers phenalkamine curing agents which when coupled with epoxy resins, offer exceptional chemical resistance. Phenalkamines exhibit a very high degree of crosslinking density, which inhibits chemicals and solvents from penetrating through the coating. Paladin’s phenalkamine adducts demonstrate outstanding resistance to solvents, acidic, alkaline and salt solutions. These curing agents can cure rapidly even at low temperatures, which allows for quick return to service and broader application window. Furthermore, non-blushing options permit reliable inter-coat adhesion even in high humidity conditions.
