The Curing Temperature Of The Curing Agent And Heat Resistance

Various Curing Agent Curing Temperature Varies, The Heat Resistance Of The Cured Product Is Also Very Different. In General, The Use Of High Curing Temperature Curing Agent Can Be Cured Product Excellent In Heat Resistance. For Addition Polymerization Type Curing Agent, Curing Temperature And Heat Resistance Improve In The Following Order:Aliphatic Polyamines <Alicyclic Polyamine <Aromatic Polyamine <Phenolic <Anhydride

Heat Resistance Generally Catalyzed Polyaddition Type Curing Agent Is An Aromatic Polyamine Levels. Anionic Polymeric (Tertiary Amines And Imidazole Antiquity), Cation Polymerization Type (BF3 Complex) Is Substantially The Same Heat Resistance, Although It Is Mainly Different Reaction Mechanism Starting, But Eventually Form An Ether Bond Mesh Structure.

A Chemical Reaction Curing Reaction, The Curing Temperature By Great Temperature Increased, The Reaction Speed, Gel Time Becomes Shorter; Logarithmic Value With A Generally Linear Increase In Curing Temperature Gelation Time Decreased. But Curing Temperature Is Too High, Often Make The Cured Product Performance, So The Upper Limit Of The Curing Temperature Of Existence; Must Be Selected So That The Curing Speed And Curing Temperature Performance Compromise As A Suitable Curing Temperature. Press The Curing Temperature Of The Curing Agent Can Be Divided Into Four Categories: Low Temperature Curing Agent At A Curing Temperature Below Room Temperature; Room Temperature Curing Agent At Room Temperature ~ 50 ℃; Temperature Curing Agent Is 50 ~ 100 ℃; High Temperature Curing Agent At A Temperature Above 100 ℃ . Low Temperature Curing Agent Species Belong Rarely Curable, Poly Sulfur Alcohol Type, Type, Etc. Polyisocyanate; Domestic Production Of T-31 Developed Modified Amine, YH-82 Can Be Modified Amine Curing Below 0 ℃. Belong To Many Different Types Of Room Temperature Curing Type: Aliphatic Polyamines, Alicyclic Polyamines; Low Molecular Weight Polyamide And Modified Aromatic Amines. It Belongs Temperature Curing Type Part Alicyclic Polyamines, Tertiary Amines, Squint Azoles And Boron Trifluoride Complexes. Belonging To High-Temperature Curing Agents Are Aromatic Polyamine, Acid Anhydride, Resole Resins, Amino Resins, Dicyandiamide And Hydrazide And The Like.

For High Temperature Curing Systems, The Curing Temperature Is Generally Divided Into Two Stages, Prior To The Gel Using A Low Temperature Curing, After Reaching The Gel State Or A State Higher Than The Gel State, And Then The High Temperature Heating After Curing (Post-Cure), The Relative Curing The Pre-Cured Before Paragraph (Pre-Cure).
