Dicyandiamide (DICY) Latent Curing Agent
Featured inIndustrial Catalysts
Dicyandiamide (DICY) is the most widely used latent curing agent for epoxy resins, providing exceptional one-component stability at room temperature (>6 months) while curing rapidly at elevated temperatures (150–180 °C). Its fine particle size enables uniform dispersion in epoxy resin systems, giving one-part adhesive films, prepregs, and structural adhesives excellent shelf life and reproducible cure. DICY is the backbone of automotive structural adhesive films and aerospace prepreg systems.
