Germany, March 17 -- BASF and Sika have jointly developed a new amine building block for curing epoxy resins, which is now commercially available under BASF's Baxxodur(R) EC 151 brand. This new development is particularly interesting for flooring applications, for example, in production plants, storage and assembly halls, as well as parking decks.Baxxodur EC 151 gives epoxy resin flooring solutions a low viscosity and optimum flow properties. As a result, the coatings are easy to apply and spread evenly. Compared to conventional hardeners, significantly less thinner is required, and up to 90 percent less volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are released. Baxxodur EC 151 thus enables the production of ultra-low VOC formulations. It also allows ...
