- Product Applications
- AP 1018 is used in combination with liquid epoxy resins or solid epoxy resin solutions or epoxy resins modified by means of reactive as well as non-reactive diluents. Suitable for making high-solids coating compositions with a workable wide range of pot lives.
- AP 1018 is suitable for application with standard one-component airless spray systems. Ideal for marine and protective coatings, e.g., structural steel, concrete flooring, etc. Suitable for making epoxy adducts. Can be used in combination with polyamides, polyamines, or other hardeners.

Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
- AP 1018 should be stored in a dry place, preferably in the sealed original container at temperatures 5 to 30°C.
- AP 1018 should not be stored exposed to direct sunlight. Shelf life: (5 to 30°C): 12 months.
- Hazardous decomposition products: (When in fire) carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and other toxic gases and vapors.
- Handling Information
- AP 1018 will absorb moisture and carbon dioxide when left in open containers. This may result in increased viscosity and sometimes crystallization.
- AP 1018 may emit fumes in the presence of high humidity (>40% RH) and in an acidic environment.
- Use personal protective equipment and follow industrial hygiene procedures.
- It is recommended to use safety glasses, protective clothing, gloves, and masks suitable for chemicals, solvents, and their vapors.
