ANCHOR®: Advanced Latent Epoxy Curing Agents for High-Performance Applications
ANCHOR® products from Evonik represent a specialized range of boron trifluoride-based epoxy curing agents developed to deliver reliable curing performance across a broad spectrum of epoxy systems. Widely used in adhesives, composites, aerospace, and industrial applications, the ANCHOR® portfolio is recognized for its ability to combine processing flexibility with outstanding mechanical and chemical performance.
Versatile Applications
The ANCHOR® brand is designed to support demanding epoxy formulations where controlled reactivity and efficient curing are critical. These products are particularly well suited for adhesives and composite applications, enabling manufacturers to achieve robust bond strength, excellent durability, and consistent processing characteristics. ANCHOR® curing agents are compatible with both liquid and solid epoxy resins, making them valuable tools in a variety of industrial and aerospace technologies.
Key Benefits and Features
The ANCHOR® range includes products such as ANCHOR® 1040 and ANCHOR® 1115, each engineered to meet specific formulation requirements. ANCHOR® 1040 is a liquid, chemically modified amine complex of boron trifluoride that provides curing over a wide temperature range. Unlike traditional solid BF₃-monoethylamine complexes, it offers excellent compatibility with liquid epoxy resins, allowing formulators greater flexibility and ease of use.
ANCHOR® 1115 is a chemically modified amine complex of boron trifluoride designed as a latent catalytic curing agent for both liquid and solid epoxy systems. It enables the development of formulations that deliver excellent mechanical properties, heat resistance, and chemical resistance after cure, making it particularly attractive for high-performance composite and aerospace applications.
With a long-standing reputation for innovation and technical excellence, the ANCHOR® product family continues to provide formulators with dependable curing solutions for advanced epoxy systems, helping achieve superior performance in demanding environments and end-use applications.
