Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q) Which modification should I employ as an epoxy hardener?
A) Mitsubishi Gas Chemical recommends epoxy adduct modification for 1,3-BAC.

Q) Can Mitsubishi Gas Chemical supply an epoxy hardener?
A) No. We are a supplier of raw materials only. If you would like to buy an epoxy hardener based on 1,3-BAC, ask your current supplier to contact us. We will assist them.

Q) The surface of our epoxy coating remains tacky. Does this originate from 1,3-BAC?
A) It depends on your formulation. Improperly formulated, tackiness (stickiness) may remain on the coating. We think that the carbamate and carbonate of 1,3-BAC generated during the curing process may be the cause. However, we have patented technology to prevent this. If you are seeing tackiness, please call us for assistance.
