Evonik has launched a new fast-curing and UV-resistant epoxy curing agent, Ancamine 2880, that offers excellent mechanical properties, abrasion resistance, and color stability throughout its service life.

With its low color and high gloss, Ancamine 2880 is ideal for flooring applications that require excellent surface appearance. In addition, Evonik’s new globally available low viscosity curing agent offers ambient and low temperature curing for easy application, and its rapid hardness development enables early walk-on floors.

"Our customers need solutions that provide performance advantages and meet the latest labeling requirements, so we are excited to introduce our new high-performance curing agent in the Ancamine series to the market,” said Christian Schmidt, head of the Crosslinkers business line. “Ancamine 2880 addresses the performance gaps found with existing available curing agents and its excellent EH&S profile make it a game-changer for the coatings market."

Ancamine 2880 offers outstanding abrasion and carbamation resistance for excellent aesthetics even under adverse conditions. Its strong resistance to different classes of chemicals and UV stability makes Ancamine 2880 a preferred choice not only for industrial and decorative floor coatings, but also for general high solids coatings.
