Waterborne Curing Agents
Cardolite offers a broad range of curing agents for waterborne epoxy coatings, including both solution- and emulsion-type chemistries with excellent compatibility across most epoxy dispersions. Solvent-free grades supplied in water are available, along with glycol-based options ideal for zinc-rich primers and other low-VOC applications. These curing agents are well-suited for anticorrosion primers, self-levelers, and midcoats, with select grades specially formulated for concrete floors and topcoats.
