Hardeners for epoxy systems
At BB Resins, we offer a line of products dedicated to the formulation of epoxy-based finished systems for application in coating and painting.
The products below represent the current production standard, which is continuously complemented by specific products-even on demand.
BB-Amide
Polyamide
Reaction products of ethyleneamines with dimer acids and TOFA, including modified versions to improve performance. They are considered to be stronger and more flexible and offer better weatherability and higher pot-life than amine hardeners. Their low toxicity, good flexibility and toughness, along with high viscosity, make them among the most common and widely used hardeners. Solvent-based modified polyamides can offer fast curing speed, lower viscosity and better chemical resistance.
- Viscosity 85%
- Flexibility 85%
- Chemical Resistance 60%
BB-Amide
Starchamines
Reaction products of ethyleneamines with TOFA, imidazoline polyamides and derivatives. They have a good resistance to water and corrosion, adhesion and curing ability under humid conditions. Modified amidoamines offer a faster curing speed and improve chemical resistance. The relatively small molecular size gives them low viscosity and makes them excellent surface wetting agents.
- Viscosity 30%
- Flexibility 90%
- Chemical Resistance 65%
BB-Amine
Aliphatic and cycloaliphatic amines
Aliphatic and cycloaliphatic amines are hardeners for epoxy resins with high chemical, thermal and mechanical resistance. They are used in high-performance areas such as flooring, industrial coatings, construction formulations, and composites. Their properties allow for systems with excellent transparency, UV stability and optimized curing times, which suit various industrial needs.
The aliphatic amines can be modified to improve their properties. Modified aliphatic amines include a wide range of products with different properties: high reactivity, rapid polymerization at room temperature or low temperature, good chemical resistance, especially to solvents.
- Viscosity 30%
- Flexibility 30%
- Chemical Resistance (Solvents) 95%
The cycloaliphatic amines give the system high chemical and mechanical resistance, exhibit good film surface properties and resistance to yellowing and water-spotting.
- Viscosity 25%
- Flexibility 45%
- Chemical Resistance (Acids) 90%
BB-water
Water systems
Our range of water-based formulated products is designed to meet the needs of modern industry, ensuring efficiency and environmental friendliness. Designed to reduce VOC emission and improve safety in production processes, our products offer excellent mechanical performance, chemical resistance and adhesion on various substrates, making them ideal for flooring and coating.
- Viscosity 75%
- Flexibility 25%
- Chemical Resistance 85%
BB-epa
Epoxy resins and reactive thinners
Our range of epoxy resins includes liquid resins based on Bisphenol A and Bisphenol F. These resins can be modified using different reactive diluents to achieve the desired characteristics and properties.
- Viscosity 65%
- Chemical Resistance 90%
