Curing Agents
Crosslinker
Crosslinkers are reactive chemical agents that form covalent bonds between polymer chains, converting linear or branched macromolecules into a three-dimensional network structure. By introducing intermolecular bridges, crosslinkers dramatically improve mechanical properties, solvent resistance, and thermal stability of coatings, adhesives, and elastomers. They are widely used in waterborne and solventborne systems across automotive, industrial, and packaging coatings.

Curing Agent
A curing agent is a chemical substance used to harden or cure resins, coatings, and adhesives through chemical crosslinking reactions. These agents react with functional groups in the base resin to form a three-dimensional network, imparting mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and durability. Curing agents are essential in epoxy, polyurethane, and other thermosetting resin systems used across industrial and protective coating applications.

Dimer Acid (Dimerized Fatty Acid) Flexibilizer
Dimer Acid is a C36 dicarboxylic acid produced by dimerization of unsaturated fatty acids (primarily oleic/linoleic acid), widely used as a flexibilizer and modifier in epoxy adhesive systems. When incorporated as part of the curing agent or as a reactive flexibilizer, it introduces long aliphatic chain segments into the epoxy network, dramatically improving peel strength, impact resistance, and low-temperature flexibility. Dimer acid-based polyamide curing agents are a cornerstone of flexible epoxy adhesive technology.
