General Information
EPIKURE Curing Agent 3370 is an effective curing agent for many epoxy resins including both reactive diluent-modified and conventional
bisphenol A types. Table 1 lists the cured state and handling properties for a typical system cured with EPIKURE 3370. The effects of the lower
epoxide functionality of the diluent-containing EPON* Resin 813, EPON 8132, and EPON 8101 are reflected by significant increases in extensibility
(flexibility), and decreases in strength modulus and solvent resistance.
The resistance of a EPON 828/EPIKURE 3370 system to long term exposure to a variety of chemicals at room temperature is illustrated in Table 2.
These data confirm a significant improvement in overall chemical resistance compared to systems cured with typical aliphatic amine-based curing
agents.
EPIKURE 3370 can be combined with most aliphatic and cycloaliphatic curing agents to modify handling characteristics or cured state
performance. Blending with EPIKURE 3271 or EPIKURE 3274 has been found to be particularly effective in altering the reactivity. Ultimate
performance characteristics of such combinations depend on the level of modification and the performance profile of the aliphatic amine curing
agent selected.
In many applications, the excellent cured state properties of epoxy systems cured with EPIKURE Curing Agent 3370 allow for modification with
non-reactive diluents to lower the system cost. Laboratory studies have shown that in most cases, properties are not critically affected by modifier
concentrations of up to 20 parts by weight per hundred parts of resin (phr). The effects on handling and cured state properties of an EPON
828/EPIKURE 3370 system when modified with 20 phr of various commercially available nonreactive diluents are shown in Table 3.
EPIKURE Curing Agent 3370 is hygroscopic. Depending on the surface-to-mass relationship, partially-filled, uncapped containers of this curing
agent can absorb as much as ten weight percent of atmospheric moisture during an overnight storage period. Absorbed moisture readily
complexes with this curing agent and results in the formation of a "skin" or sludge agglomeration on the surface. Once sludge formation occurs,
the curing agent can only be reclaimed by removal of the solid by filtration or by blending it with fresh curing agent and heating to temperatures
not to exceed 250 °F until the solid material reliquifies. Therefore, EPIKURE Curing Agent 3370 based systems must be stored in containers with
tightly fitted lids to minimize exposure to the atmosphere prior to use.

Safety, Storage & Handling

Please refer to the MSDS for the most current Safety and Handling information.

Please refer to the Hexion web site for Shelf Life and recommended Storage information.

Exposure to these materials should be minimized and avoided, if feasible, through the observance of proper precautions, use of appropriate
engineering controls and proper personal protective clothing and equipment, and adherence to proper handling procedures. None of these
materials should be used, stored, or transported until the handling precautions and recommendations as stated in the Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) for these and all other products being used are understood by all persons who will work with them. Questions and requests for
information on Hexion Inc. ("Hexion") products should be directed to your Hexion sales representative, or the nearest Hexion sales office.
Information and MSDSs on non-Hexion products should be obtained from the respective manufacturer.
