Amine-HCA™ C3 - LF is a specialty amine-based curing agent designed for polyurethane (PU) formulations, offering fast curing, excellent mechanical properties, and enhanced durability. This low-freezing (LF) grade ensures stable performance even in cold environments, making it ideal for demanding industrial applications.

Key Features

  1. Fast & Controlled Curing

    • Accelerates PU curing without compromising pot life.

    • Ensures consistent crosslinking for uniform material properties.

  2. Low Freezing Point

    • Remains stable and flowable at lower temperatures (down to -20°C).

    • Reduces storage and handling challenges in cold climates.

  3. High Reactivity with Isocyanates

    • Compatible with MDI, TDI, and aliphatic isocyanates.

    • Enables rapid gelation for high-throughput production.

  4. Enhanced Mechanical Performance

    • Improves tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and flexibility of cured PU.

    • Reduces brittleness in rigid foams and coatings.

  5. Low Volatility & Minimal Odor

    • Safer workplace handling compared to traditional amine catalysts.

    • Suitable for enclosed or ventilated production environments.


Primary Functions

  • Curing Acceleration: Promotes rapid PU polymerization for faster demolding.

  • Crosslinking Optimization: Enhances network density for superior mechanical properties.

  • Process Stability: Prevents premature gelation, ensuring consistent processing.

  • Low-Temperature Performance: Maintains reactivity in cold storage or winter applications.


Product Description

Amine-HCA™ C3 - LF is a light-yellow to amber liquid with low viscosity, ensuring easy mixing with PU prepolymers. Its low freezing point and high amine content make it a reliable choice for adhesives, coatings, and elastomers requiring fast cure times.

Technical Specifications:

  • Amine Value: 300–350 mg KOH/g

  • Viscosity (25°C): 200–500 mPa·s

  • Freezing Point: ≤ -20°C

  • Density (20°C): 1.05–1.10 g/cm³


Applications

  1. PU Coatings & Adhesives

    • Industrial Coatings: Flooring, tank linings, and anti-corrosion layers.

    • Structural Adhesives: Automotive and aerospace bonding.

  2. Elastomers & Sealants

    • Molded PU Parts: Gaskets, wheels, and shock absorbers.

    • Construction Sealants: Weather-resistant joint fillers.

  3. Flexible & Rigid Foams

    • Insulation Panels: Improves dimensional stability.

    • Footwear Midsole Foams: Enhances rebound resilience.

  4. Composite Materials

    • Fiber-Reinforced PU: Wind turbine blades, automotive components.


Advantages Over Competing Products

Cold-Climate Reliability: Performs consistently in low-temperature storage/processing.
Faster Production Cycles: Reduces demolding time by 20–30%.
Broad Compatibility: Works with aromatic and aliphatic isocyanate systems.
Eco-Friendly: Low VOC content meets environmental regulations.


Recommended Dosage

  • Coatings/Adhesives: 0.5–3% by weight (relative to prepolymer).

  • Elastomers: 1–5% by weight.

  • Foams: 0.3–2% by weight.

Note: Optimal dosage depends on isocyanate type, desired cure speed, and application requirements.


Why Choose Amine-HCA™ C3 - LF?

As a high-efficiency PU curing agent, Amine-HCA™ C3 - LF combines speed, stability, and versatility, making it indispensable for industries requiring fast-processing, durable polyurethane products. Its low-freezing formulation ensures year-round usability, even in challenging environments.
