Furalkamines are a new form of mannich base curing agents, derived from pentosane-rich biomass. Subsequent reaction with a variety of amines influences the processing characteristics and offers a new solution to low-temperature cure and cure under adverse conditions, whilst maintaining regulatory compliance.

These epoxy hardeners are especially useful for formulating systems for protective coatings and civil engineering applications.
The key properties include:
The new series of Furalkamines have been designed to be REACH compliant allowing continuity of supply in Europe for solvent free coatings and systems for civil engineering.

Adaptation of technology to other markets
Bitrez is a Queen's Award winning, R&D focused resin-manufacturing organisation that offers an extensive range of highly innovative materials developed for an equally broad range of markets and applications within the Composites, Coatings, Adhesive and Insulation (casting / encapsulation) sectors.
Products include Amino and Amino-triazine, Epoxy, Phenolic, Vinyl Ester, Benzoxazine and Phenol-Aralkyl resins along with a range of complimentary curing agents and catalysts.
In the recent past, whilst our focus has always remained the development of high performance polymers, we have adapted many of our chemistries to be compliant with REACH, the European Union regulation concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemicals, which came into force on 1st June 2007.
However, during the past 12-18 months, a key focus has been the further development of our range of Green chemistry, focusing on bio-epoxy, bio-based curing agents and bio-phenolic (PFA), formulated for processing via numerous methods.
Rapid response and flexibility are combined with in-house R&D offering controlled design, development and implementation programmes, including pilot plant to assure new and existing customers of timely, effective solutions to their resin requirements.
