Description

JPOXY JH 8362, this hardener is solvent-free and easy to use. It works well on wet or damp surfaces. You can also use it on rough or underprepared areas. It spreads smoothly because of its low viscosity. Plus, it has high solids for better strength. It dries fast and fights moisture. So, it is great for tough jobs. Use it when you need strong and lasting coatings.

Q1. What kind of hardener is JH 8362?

A1. It is a phenalkamine-based epoxy curing agent with high solids and low viscosity, designed for excellent adhesion on wet, humid, or under-prepared surfaces.

Q2. What are the key benefits of JH 8362?

A2. 

  • Excellent wet surface adhesion
  • Low temperature curing (as low as 5–10°C)
  • Fast recoat and cure even in humid conditions
  • High mechanical strength with long pot life
  • Low VOC and solvent-free for safer handling

Q3. Where is it typically used? A3.  Ideal for:

  • Marine coatings (hull, ballast tanks, ship decks)
  • Potable water contact coatings (when used in compliant formulations)
  • Casting and encapsulation requiring moisture resistance
  • Concrete and steel protective coatings in industrial and construction environments
Q4. How is it different from JH 8361?

A4.  While both are moisture-tolerant phenalkamide/phenalkamine hardeners:

  • JH 8362 has lower viscosity for better flow and higher solids
  • JH 8361 is more thixotropic and suited for brush/roller applied coatings
  • JH 8362 is preferred for sprayable systems and castings due to its flowability
Q5. Can JH 8362 be used on damp or underwater surfaces?

A5. Yes, it’s engineered to bond strongly even on moist, damp, or saturated substrates, making it ideal for marine and repair coatings.

Q6. Which epoxy resins work best with it?

A6. Compatible with liquid epoxy resins like JR 3013 or JR 3000, depending on gloss, clarity, and reactivity desired.

Q7. Is it safe for potable water contact?

A7. Yes, when used in systems formulated to meet standards like BIS 9833, NSF/ANSI 61, or equivalent. Check with your formulator for final certification.

Q8. Does it help reduce VOCs in coatings?

A8. Yes. Being solvent-free with high solids, JH 8362 significantly reduces volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions in finished systems.

Q9. What’s the cure profile?

A9. Touch-dry in 4–6 hours, recoat window of 8–24 hours, and full cure in 5–7 days depending on conditions.

Q10. Can it be used for casting and potting applications?

A10. Yes. Its moisture resistance, low viscosity, and strong cure make it suitable for small-to-medium size castings and encapsulations.
