  1. Novel Waterborne Epoxy Curing Agent Technology David Dubowik Air Products & Chemicals Presented at the TRFA Annual Meeting November 15, 2005 Fort Lauderdale, Florida

  2. Outline: Novel Waterborne Epoxy Curing Agent • Waterborne Epoxy Overview • Market Drivers • Novel Curing Agent Technology • Performance Attributes • Summary

  3. Typical WB Epoxy Applications • Institutional & Maintenance Coatings • Low Odor • Easy Handling • Abrasion Resistance • Alkali & Acid Stain Resistance

  4. Waterborne Epoxy...The Basics H2O Evaporates Epoxy & Amine Dispersed in Water Epoxy & Amine Polymerize Coating Applied

  5. High Water Shear Amine Epoxy - Water - Soluble + Liquid Emulsion Amine Epoxy Type I Waterborne Epoxies • Amine acts as Epoxy Emulsifier • Water + Amine + Epoxy form Complex Emulsion • Emulsion Destabilizes Visible Pot Life • Liquid Epoxy Short Pot Life, Slow Dry

  6. Type II Waterborne Epoxies • Epoxy Pre-dispersed with Nonionic Surfactant • Amine Migrates from Water into Epoxy • Polymerization Inside Particle Blind Pot Life • Solid Epoxy Long Pot Life, Fast Dry • Co-Solvents Needed for Coalescence

  7. Type I & II Curing Agent Limitations Curing Agents Trap Water, Limit Film Build

  8. Market Drivers for New Technology • Easier Handling • Lower Viscosity • Higher Water Dilution • No Induction Time • Lower Color • Lower Initial Color • Higher Yellowing resistance • Higher Film Build • Mastics • Block Fillers

  9. Novel Waterborne Epoxy Technology Anquawhite 100 • Amine Functional Dispersion in Water • Water Insoluble • Highly Compatible with Epoxy

  10. Anquawhite 100 Properties Viscosity 200 cP Solids 55% Solvents Water 41% PM 4% Color, Gardner 1 AHEW 350 Freeze-Thaw Cycles > 5 • Low Amine Content Improves • Yellowing • Stain Resistance

  11. Anquawhite 100 + Epoxy Dispersion Film Formation Minimal Epoxy-Amine Interaction Low Viscosity High Solids

  12. Anquawhite 100 + Epoxy Dispersion Long Pot Life & High Gloss
