en.Wedoany.com Reported - Evonik has launched Ancamine® 2873, an ultra-low emission epoxy curing agent designed specifically for protective and marine coatings, enabling rapid winter curing, ultra-high solids content, and excellent corrosion resistance. The product delivers reliable performance in cold conditions down to 5°C.

With its low viscosity and strong reactivity, Ancamine® 2873 is easy to apply in cold, humid environments, forming a clean film and curing quickly, helping operators maintain consistent coating quality during winter. Svetlana Ivanova, Market Director for Epoxy Curing Agents in the Americas at Evonik, stated: "By adding Ancamine® 2873 to our portfolio, we are helping customers overcome one of the biggest obstacles in protective coatings: maintaining productivity and reliability during cold-weather maintenance." She noted that the curing agent enables formulators to create high-solids, ultra-low emission coatings that support sustainability goals.

The product also offers early water resistance, excellent adhesion, and a long pot life. Dr. Raghuraman Govindan Karunakaran, Senior Technical Manager for Evonik Crosslinkers, stated: "Balancing rapid curing, corrosion protection, and good appearance at low temperatures presents a significant technical challenge. Ancamine® 2873 succeeds in all three areas."

Ancamine® 2873 belongs to the Evonik ULE technology family, helping to reduce VOC emissions. Evonik will feature the product and its low-temperature, high-solids epoxy technology at the 2026 American Coatings Show (ACS). On May 5, 2026, Dr. Raghuraman will deliver a presentation in the protective coatings session of the ACS conference.
