Lindride Anhydride Curing Agents
The Lindride family of anhydrides consists primarily of methyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride (MTHPA) and methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride (MHHPA). These curing agents are light colored, low viscosity liquids that are soluble in liquid epoxy resins. Mixtures of Lindrides with epoxy resins are stable for extended periods of time at ambient temperature. When promoted and heated, the mixtures are converted to highly cross-linked polymers. The benefits of curing with Lindride include:
- Low viscosity resin mix
- Low toxicity
- Extended pot life
- Low volatility
- Low shrinkage
The Lindride 2 series consists of mixtures of isomeric forms of methyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride.
The Lindride 20 series consists of a group of pre-catalyzed anhydrides based on methyl-5-norbornene-2, 3-dicarboxlic anhydride.
The Lindride 32 series consists of mixtures of isomeric forms of methyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride, specifically formulated to remain free of crystals at temperatures well below ambient.
The Lindride 40 series consists of cost effective anhydride curing agents useful for curing epoxy resins, and are based on isomeric forms of methyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride.
The Lindride 52 series consists of a group of anhydrides based on 4-methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride.
The Lindride 62 series consists of a group of anhydride blends based on methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride.
Pre-Promoted Lindrides
Lindau offers many pre-promoted Lindrides as stock items or can provide Lindrides as custom-designed products that meet a company's specific curing requirements. Manufactured with accelerators already included, pre-promoted Lindrides provide users with convenience and simplicity of working with a two-part system. With pre-promoted Lindrides, our customers do not have to obtain, handle, or measure promoters.
