Technical overview
Unilite 401 and 405 are liquid cycloaliphatic polyamine adducts for self-levelling epoxy floors. Gardner colour, viscosity, amine value and AHEW distinguish the two grades. The starting mix ratio should be calculated with the selected epoxy resin and verified under the intended application and cure conditions.
Selection considerations
- ApplicationBoth grades are intended for self-levelling epoxy floor formulations.
- Grade characteristicsGardner colour, viscosity and amine-value ranges distinguish the two liquid grades.
- Starting mix ratioAHEW and epoxy equivalent weight provide the initial ratio, which must be confirmed in the complete floor formulation.
Cycloaliphatic adducts technical information
What is a cycloaliphatic polyamine adduct?
A cycloaliphatic polyamine adduct is an amine curing agent modified for use with epoxy resin systems. Its viscosity, amine value and AHEW help define the formulation starting point, while handling and cure behaviour must be assessed with the selected epoxy resin, fillers, additives and application conditions.
Which Unilite grades are intended for self-levelling epoxy flooring?
Unilite 401 and Unilite 405 are intended for self-levelling epoxy floor formulations. Gardner colour, viscosity, amine value and AHEW distinguish the grades. Selection still requires a trial with the intended epoxy resin, filler loading, additives, film thickness and site cure conditions.
How is the starting epoxy mix ratio calculated?
Use the curing-agent amine hydrogen equivalent weight (AHEW) with the epoxy resin equivalent weight (EEW) to calculate an initial stoichiometric ratio. Confirm the values against current product documents, then verify pot life, cure and finished-film properties in the complete flooring formulation.
What should be tested in a self-levelling floor trial?
Evaluate mixing, flow, deaeration, pot life, cure development and the required finished-floor properties using the intended resin, fillers, pigments and additives. Trial thickness, substrate preparation, temperature and humidity should represent the actual application because they can materially affect the result.
How can a formulator request a cycloaliphatic polyamine sample?
Provide the epoxy resin and EEW, target mix ratio, filler loading, application thickness, cure conditions and required handling or film properties. The technical team can then identify whether Unilite 401 or 405 is the more relevant starting grade and provide current product documentation or a sample for evaluation.
