HC-604 Polyether Amine Curing Agent for Carbon-Based Tile Adhesives

HC-604 is a polyether amine modified curing agent with a long working period at ambient temperature. Its cured products show excellent toughness and bond strength — a natural fit for carbon-based (epoxy) tile adhesives, epoxy coatings and general adhesives.

Product overview

Engineered for its duty

Large-format tile and ventilated facade systems push adhesives hard: long open times for placement, permanent bond strength, and flexibility to survive thermal cycling. HC-604 provides the long ambient pot life applicators need, then cures to a tough, tenacious network that grips dense, low-porosity substrates.

Its low viscosity also makes it easy to formulate — whether as the curing agent in two-component tile adhesives or as a flexibilising co-curing agent in epoxy coating systems.

Key benefits

Why formulators specify it

  • Long ambient working period
    Extended placement window for large-format tiling.

    Absorbs thermal movement and shock.
  • Strong bond performance
    Reliable adhesion to dense and smooth substrates.
  • Low viscosity
    Easy mixing, pumping and formulation work.

Applications

Where it is used

  • Carbon-based (epoxy) tile adhesives
  • Epoxy coating systems
  • Structural and assembly adhesives
  • Bonding of stone, tile, concrete and metal

Handling & safety

Application and storage

Application

Apply at 5 – 35 °C with dry substrates. Allow full cure before water exposure or grouting over bonded areas.

Pre-test a small sample against your resin batch and project conditions before full-scale use.

Storage

Store sealed in the original container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from ignition sources. Shelf life: 12 months.

Packaging

20 kg and 200 kg net steel drums.

Safety

Amine products may cause skin sensitisation. Wear gloves and eye protection; wash skin contact immediately with plenty of water.
