- Evonik introduces Ancamine® 2873, an ultra‑low‑emission epoxy curing agent.
- Engineered to cure reliably and form film at temperatures as low as 5°C for fast winter maintenance.
- Enables ultra‑high‑solids, low‑viscosity sprayable coatings that cut VOCs.
- Delivers long pot life, early water resistance, strong adhesion on marginal substrates and corrosion protection.
Overview
Evonik introduced Ancamine® 2873, an ultra‑low‑emission epoxy curing agent for protective and marine coatings engineered for reliable low‑temperature performance and high‑solids formulations.
Technical features
Ancamine® 2873 combines low viscosity with robust reactivity to enable spray application, clean film formation and rapid property development down to 5°C; it offers strong early water resistance, excellent adhesion on marginal substrates, long pot life and corrosion protection while supporting reduced VOC content in ultra‑high‑solids coatings.
Applications and events
The product is intended for cold‑weather maintenance and marine protective systems where consistent cure and film quality are needed under cold, humid conditions; Ancamine® 2873 will be presented at the American Coatings Show 2026, including a conference session on low‑emission epoxy technologies.
