1,3-cyclohexanedimethylamine CAS No.579-20-6,short for 1,3-BAC,is used as a raw material for epoxy resin curing agents in a wide range of applications around the world.

1,3-BAC, as an alicyclic amine, has excellent hardness, weathering, and chemical resistance, a refined appearance, and a faster cure rate.

Typical Physical and Chemical Data

• Appearance: Colourless transparent liquid
• Colour (G):1.0 Max
• Viscosity (mPa.s/20℃): 9.1
• Active hydrogen equivalent(g/eq): 35.6

Advantages of 1,3-BAC as an epoxy resin curing agent

• Excellent UV resistance and transparency
• Fast curing speed
• Excellent curing at high temperatures & high humidity
• Low active hydrogen equivalents, low additions
• Low solidification point
• Good curing even at low temperatures.

Application of 1,3-BAC

     In jewellery adhesive

• 1,3-BAC's excellent resistance to yellowing provides a long-lasting guarantee for the glossy appearance of the jewellery adhesive.
• 1,3-BAC provides hardness guarantee for jewellery.
• 1,3-BAC lower addition faster curing speed to improve the overall cost-effective advantage.

     In seam sealer

• Improve the curing speed, 1,3-BAC can fully guarantee the curing time.
• 1,3-BAC low colour, high transparency to fully guarantee the appearance of the product colour.
• 1,3-BAC provides the required hardness and strength to the product.

    In composite materials

• 1,3-BAC low active hydrogen equivalent, low additive quantity can bring higher cost-effective advantage for products.
• 1,3-BAC high hardness, to provide assurance for the strength of the product.
• 1,3-BAC good chemical resistance, to ensure that the product's lasting use.

    In laminating adhesive

• 1,3-BAC's excellent resistance to yellowing provides assurance of long-lasting colour stability of the cured product.
• 1,3-BAC's excellent colour transparency ensures the transparent and clear quality of the product.
• The low viscosity of 1,3-BAC ensures good workability.

1,3-BAC (1,3-cyclohexanedimethylamine) is now widely used as epoxy resin curing agent in coatings, adhesives, composites, etc. 1,3-BAC is one of the amines with less additive quantity at present, and its excellent product appearance and performance make it have an outstanding cost-effective advantage.
