Chem Horizons Reactive Polyamide Resins

At Chem Horizons, we take pride in offering a comprehensive range of Reactive Polyamide Resins, developed with advanced technology to serve diverse industrial applications. Our polyamide curing agents for epoxy resins are formulated from polymerized vegetable oil fatty acids and selected polyalkyl polyamines, ensuring consistency, flexibility, and superior performance.

These condensation products of dimerized fatty acids and polyamines are semi-solid, viscous synthetic resins with varying amine functionality. By carefully balancing the ratio of dimer acid to polyamine and controlling the degree of polymerization, Chem Horizons delivers tailored products that meet the precise requirements of coatings, adhesives, construction, and electrical industries.

Why Polyamide Resins from Chem Horizons?

Polyamide resins cure epoxy systems through active amine groups while offering distinct advantages over conventional polyamines:

• Enhanced flexibility and impact resistance due to the dimer acid backbone
• Superior adhesion, water resistance, and corrosion protection from amide and dimer acid linkages
• Broad resin compatibility, including phenolic, alkyd, vinyl, polyester, urea, melamine, and petroleum resins
• Excellent thermoset properties when reacted with epoxy or phenolic resins
