ECA 100 is a light colored, low viscosity liquid epoxy curing agent designed for use in converting epoxy resins to highly crosslinked polymers with excellent physical and electrical properties. ECA 100 performs well when used in demanding applications, such as filament winding, pultrusion, and other forms of lamination, as well as electrical encapsulating, insulating, casting, and potting. ECA 100 imparts ease of handling due to low viscosity, low toxicity and low volatility. It is a mixture, which is a liquid at normal room temperature. If the product crystallizes, it should return to liquid by heating 38-55°C (100- 130°F) for 2-8 hours.

ECA 607 is a low viscosity, non-crystallizing liquid anhydride epoxy curing agent blend. For convenience, it is pre-catalyzed with latent proprietary accelerators that impart high reactivity at process temperatures, while maintaining excellent pot life. It is designed to cure efficiently in processes such as pultrusion where residence time at curing temperature is limited.

Dixie dodecenylsuccinic anhydride (DDSA) is a slightly viscous liquid anhydride. DDSA can be used as an epoxy curing agent for electrical potting compounds, coatings, conductive adhesives, and syntactic foams and also as an intermediate in the preparation of corrosion inhibitors for oils and greases. It cane be used as a leather tanning agent. When used as an epoxy-curing agent, it has a long pot life at room temperature and gives excellent electrical properties and flexibility to castings. DDSA can be used in blends with other anhydrides to modify physical properties of the mixture and to lend flexibility and reduce brittleness of cured polymers.

ECA 106K is a low viscosity liquid anhydride epoxy curing agent based on methyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride.
