Application:
MTHPA is mainly used as a curing agent for epoxy resins. It has a low tendency to absorb moisture from the air and zero or minimal
formation of carbon dioxide when mixed with tertiary amine accelerators.
MTHPA can be easily blended with various liquid resins providing stable, low viscous mixture and long pot life. It is widely used for
Casting or Potting, Impregnation, Pultrusion, Lamination and Filament winding process. In the field of fiber reinforced plastics, it is used for filament winding products, such as FRP pipes for
oil, poles and sport appliance, it is also used for laminated sheets, printed circuit boards, switch gears.
MTHPA has excellent insulating properties to electrical parts such as: capacitors, resistors, wiring parts, transformers, ignition coils
and motor.
Packing: 220kg/240kg iron drum or 1100kg IBC
Storage: Store in cool, dry and ventilated place, keep away
from open flames or other potential ignition source, and should be protected from moisture, because it is easy to be crystallized when contact with the air moisture. In the winter season MTHPA
can solidify, it can easily be remelted by simply heating.
Shelf life: 12 months
