A grade-specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) — with the complete hazard classification, handling precautions, and transport information — is supplied with every shipment and available on request. Confirm all safety and regulatory details against the SDS for your specific grade.
Polyetheramine ST-404 is a trifunctional, amine-terminated polyether triamine with sterically hindered secondary amine end groups on a propylene-oxide backbone, giving slower, more controlled cure than the primary-amine triamines. Its three reactive ends act as a crosslinking epoxy curing agent and network former with extended pot life. Established applications are in polyurea systems, coatings and adhesives.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Polyetheramine ST-404 used for?
ST-404 is a trifunctional, amine-terminated polyether triamine with sterically hindered secondary amine end groups, used as a crosslinking epoxy curing agent and network former with extended pot life. It is applied in polyurea systems, coatings and adhesives where slower, networked cure is needed.
What makes ST-404 a crosslinker rather than a chain extender?
ST-404 is trifunctional, with three reactive amine ends rather than two, so each molecule can bond to three epoxy or isocyanate sites and build a crosslinked network instead of just extending a chain. The hindered secondary amine ends slow that crosslinking for longer gel time.
How does ST-404 differ from the difunctional SD grades?
Both use hindered secondary amine ends on a propylene-oxide backbone for slow, controlled cure, but the SD grades are difunctional diamines while ST-404 is a trifunctional triamine. The third reactive end makes ST-404 a network-forming crosslinker rather than a linear chain extender.
What is the identity of Polyetheramine ST-404?
ST-404 is a polymeric, hindered secondary amine-terminated polyether triamine, specified by grade and average molecular weight rather than a single discrete CAS number. Definitive lot identity appears on its CoA and SDS, supplied with the order.
What packaging is available for bulk Polyetheramine ST-404?
