The products offer formulators outstanding dynamic and mechanical properties as well as the ability to adjust reaction times during production.
The company’s line of Ethacure® curing agents is used in everyday applications in construction and the automotive sector, including spray foam systems, floor coatings, molded parts and/or composite materials.
