Use & Application
MTHPA is widely used liquid anhydride curing agent for epoxy resin. It is mainly used for electrical and electronic components encapsulation, transformers, capacitors, high voltage insulation casting. Also applied in carbon fiber/glass fiber composites, filament winding products, pultrusion profiles, wind power blade accessories, epoxy coatings and adhesives. Cured epoxy system features outstanding thermal resistance, low dielectric loss and mechanical strength.
Packing
220kg iron drum; IBC tank available on request. Custom packing can be arranged.
Delivery & Storage
Store in cool, dry and ventilated warehouse. Keep tightly sealed, strictly avoid moisture absorption, water and humid air contact. Separate from alkaline materials, oxidants and amines. Recommended storage temperature below 30℃. Shelf life 12 months under proper storage. Handle carefully during transportation to prevent drum damage and water ingress.
