Brand: Basf
BASF 8440 is a tradename for a chemical compound called hexamethylenetramine (HMT). It is commonly used as a curing agent in the production of epoxy resins. When added to an epoxy resin, it undergoes a chemical reaction known as condensation that produces a hard and durable polymer. The main benefits of using HMT as a curing agent include its fast cure time, excellent mechanical properties, and good chemical resistance. HMT is also commonly used in the manufacture of adhesives, lubricants, and coatings applications.
