3D printing is transforming industries like dentistry where it's increasingly used for in the production of customized dental splints, and Evonik's VESTANAT® TMDI emerging as a unique raw material for photopolymers used in these applications.

Ultrafast moisture vapor barrier with ANCAMINE® 2875

Are you looking for a fast‑curing, low‑emission solution that keeps moisture out and prevents costly floor failures? ANCAMINE® 2875 delivers ultrafast curing with extended working time, outstanding moisture vapor barrier performance certified to ASTM F3010, and superior adhesion to concrete—all in an alkylphenol‑free formulation designed for rapid return to service and long‑lasting flooring performance.

ANCAMINE® 2337M - a latent curing agent designed for low temperature cure epoxy adhesives

Epoxy systems stand out as some of the most widely used structural adhesives on the market today. The success of epoxides in structural adhesives can be attributed to exceptional mechanical properties, strong adhesion to a variety of substrates, and their outstanding resistance to environmental factors such as moisture, chemicals and temperature fluctuations. Additionally, these systems only exhibit minimal shrinkage during curing and typically contain no volatile compounds.
