en.Wedoany.com Reported - German specialty chemicals company Evonik has launched a new epoxy curing agent, Ancamine 2875. This product is designed for ultra-fast curing, strong adhesion, and moisture barrier properties, aligning with the development direction of high-performance flooring systems.

Ancamine 2875 combines ultra-fast curing with extended working time technology, which is relatively rare in epoxy systems. It eliminates the need for harmful alkylphenol accelerators, achieves ultra-low emissions, and meets the safety and environmental requirements of the construction industry.

Kevin Wohlhauser, Market Director for Crosslinkers Americas at Evonik, stated: "Moisture-induced floor failure is a major technical and financial risk faced by customers. Ancamine 2875 can mitigate this risk, combining ultra-fast curing and extended time to enhance efficiency and compliance with specifications."

The product complies with the ASTM F3010 standard, effectively protecting against moisture transmission in concrete, a key cause of floor failure. It is compatible with various formulations and standard epoxy resins, enhancing performance and application flexibility.

Dr. Shiying Zheng, Application Technology Director for Crosslinkers at Evonik, said: "When using Ancamine 2875, the moisture barrier performance can be below 0.1 perms at a coating thickness as low as 12 mils, as shown in ASTM E-96 testing. This innovation balances performance and value, making it suitable for modern flooring systems."

As a cost-effective solution, Ancamine 2875 provides formulators with more choices while maintaining performance and compliance. As regulations tighten and performance demands increase, Evonik's new product focuses on speed, safety, and durability.
