With amine catalysts, the heat and chemical resistance attributed to cured epoxy is enhanced, which is why they are incorporated within epoxy floors. Furthermore, amines form highly cross-linked epoxy resins which strengthens the flooring allowing it to bear heavy loads and impacts. These aromatic amines-cured floors are ideal for industrial applications where hot temperatures are commonplace as well as harsh chemicals encountered in chemical plants, automotive manufacturing plants, and laboratories. Unlike other amines, these paus sluggish curing at room temperature and depend on heat to expedite the process.
