Description and features
Vicura DICY 100S is a micronized grade of dicyandiamide containing 1.5%-1.6% anti-blocking agent to inhibit clumping and improve handling. It is primarily used as a curing agent for epoxy resins.
Due to its high melting point, Vicura DICY 100S does not melt during extrusion, ensuring it forms a homogeneous mixture with the epoxy resin on a molecular scale. As a result, Vicura DICY 100S is supplied with a low particle size, which helps maintain acceptable homogeneity during the extrusion process, provided the premixing is done correctly.
Furthermore, epoxy powder coatings cured with Vicura DICY 100S exhibit outstanding features, including excellent adhesion to metal, exceptional chemical and solvent resistance, and very high impact, abrasion, and scratch resistance. Additionally, its excellent dielectric properties make these coatings suitable for a wide range of electrical applications.
