Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs: Thiol-Epoxy Fast Curing Agent
Q: What is the difference between thiol curing agents and standard amine curing agents?
Polysulfane curing agents offer faster cure speeds, particularly excelling in low-temperature and thin-film conditions. Compared to traditional amine-based curing agents, polysulfane variants produce less odor, maintain a lighter color, and gel rapidly at room temperature—making them ideal for fast-bonding applications and winter construction projects.
Q: How do I choose between GL1805 and GLS807?
GL1805 is a high-performance 5-minute curing agent with high thiol content, offering superior overall performance and bond strength. GLS807 is a cost-effective 5-minute curing agent with lower thiol content, ideal for cost-sensitive applications. For best performance, choose GL1805; for cost control, GLS807 is an excellent choice.
Q: What are the storage conditions for mercaptan curing agents?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and high temperatures. Unopened products typically have a shelf life of 12 months. Once opened, use promptly and ensure the container is tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and oxidation.
Q: Which epoxy systems can polythiol curing agents be used with?
Thiol-terminated polymeric curing agents are suitable for most bisphenol A-based epoxy resins (such as E51, E44, etc.) and other epoxy systems. The optimal ratio depends on the resin's epoxide equivalent weight and application requirements; a preliminary small-scale trial is recommended to determine the best formulation.
Q: How do I determine the amount of polysulfide curing agent to use?
The dosage of thiol-based curing agents is typically calculated based on the epoxy equivalent weight (EEW) of the epoxy resin, generally following a stoichiometric ratio or slight excess. For exact amounts, refer to the product's Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and optimize through testing based on your specific application needs. We offer technical support to help determine the optimal formulation.
