MR. JO JH 1036: The Versatile Triethylenetetramine (TETA) Hardener
When it comes to curing epoxy resins, few hardeners offer the balance of reactivity, economy, and versatility like Triethylenetetramine (TETA). JH 1036 delivers exactly that — a reliable unmodified amine hardener that formulators trust across coatings, flooring, adhesives, and general epoxy systems.
Key Technical Data
- Chemical name: Triethylenetetramine (TETA)
- Amine value (mg KOH/g): 1,350 – 1,550
- Viscosity @ 25°C (mPa·s): 5 – 20 (water-like, very low)
- Color (Gardner): ≤1
- Density @ 25°C (g/cc): 0.95 – 1.00
This low-viscosity amine is easy to handle, promotes deep substrate penetration, and mixes well even at high filler loadings.
Why Choose JH 1036?
✔ Fast and economical cure – delivers good hardness and tack-free surfaces at room temperature.
✔ Low viscosity – improves workability, flow, and penetration in porous substrates.
✔ Wide compatibility – works with standard unmodified bisphenol-A and bisphenol-F epoxy resins.
✔ Excellent adhesion – forms strong chemical bonds with concrete, steel, and composites.
✔ Proven utility – decades of industry use across multiple epoxy systems.
Typical Applications
- Epoxy flooring primers – deep penetration, strong substrate bonding.
- General purpose adhesives – cost-effective, versatile bonding solutions.
- Industrial coatings – primers, maintenance coatings, marine paints.
- Civil engineering grouts and mortars – high filler loading with good flow.
- Composite laminates – fast curing and easy processing.
Formulation Advantages
- At 10 PHR with standard resins, JH 1036 delivers a balanced mix of hardness, adhesion, and economy.
- Its low color and low viscosity make it suitable for pigmented systems as well as transparent primers.
- Compatible with reactive diluents and can be blended with other amines to fine-tune pot life and cure speed.
Why JH 1036?
Unlike bulk suppliers, JPOXY makes TETA available in customer-friendly pack sizes with local availability and technical guidance. Whether you’re formulating a flooring system, a heavy-duty adhesive, or a cost-sensitive coating, JH 1036 is the go-to entry point for epoxy hardeners.
