JEFFAMINE® RFD-270 amine is a novel amine containing both rigid (cycloaliphatic) and flexible (polyetheramine)  segments in the same molecule. This product offers a unique formulating option for composites, coatings, and  adhesives. When used for epoxy resin curing, this amine can provide synergistic processing and cured resin  performance advantages relative to simple mixtures of polyetheramines and cycloaliphatic amines. 

JEFFAMINE® RFD-270 amine can be used as an epoxy curing agent in coatings, adhesives or composites. Some  of the benefits of this material are its higher glass transition temperature capability, low VOC and lower blushing.

Benefits

• Faster curing and property development, allowing reduction of any accelerator  usage 

• Low viscosity, color and vapor pressure 

• Lower blushing or carbamation (reaction with atmospheric carbon dioxide)  compared to cycloaliphatic amines 

• Faster strength development than other PEA curatives and excellent mechanical  properties 

• Potential cost savings when formulated with JEFFSOL® PC carbonate-diluted  resin vs. aliphatic epoxy-diluted resin 

• Improved chemical resistance to typical acids and bases in coating applications
