Specialty Proprietary Products Markets
Mercaptans
Looking for accelerated cure times, improved adhesion and enhanced physical properties? Gabriel mercaptans provide excellent bond strength to glass, metal, concrete and wood, and fast-set characteristics, making them ideal for any number of industrial products and consumer adhesives. A perfect example is the automotive repair market. If a consumer needs a windshield replaced, they don’t want to wait long. Gabriel mercaptans help ensure the new windshield properly adheres to the metal frame, will withstand harsh weather elements for long life and cures quickly, so the consumer can drive away without a long wait.
Gabriel mercaptans are used in many markets and applications, including:
- Anchor bolt adhesives
- Automotive aftermarket repair compounds
- Coatings, adhesives and sealants
- DIY consumer market for general purpose bonding
- Floor repairs
- Grouts & concrete repair products
- Hobby & craft adhesives and coatings
- Joint sealants
- NSF potable water coatings
- Patching compounds
- Road marker adhesives
Sulfones
For high-performance epoxy applications, Gabriel sulfones deliver a fast cure rate and increased physical property strength, plus high-temperature resistance. In the aerospace market, Gabriel sulfones are used on military and commercial aircraft as a laminate to cure plastic insulation panels, electrical components and more. The same properties also make them ideal for printed circuit boards, electrical transmitters and many other applications requiring high-temperature resistance, such as:
- Aerospace
- Electronic encapsulation and potting
- High performance adhesives and coatings
- PCB laminates
- Prepregs
Amines
Gabriel amines speed the cure time of amine and polyamide systems, and can also be used with curing agents such as anhydrides, polysulfides and mercaptans. They also serve as a delayed action catalyst for rigid polyisocyanurate foams. Gabriel amines are essential components in the formulation of products and technologies used in several markets, such as:
- Adhesives
- Civil engineering and infrastructure
- Coatings
- Composites
Where UV and chemical resistance are needed, as well as improved outdoor weather resistance and superior arc and arc-track resistance, Gabriel’s advanced cycloaliphatic epoxy resins are designed for a range of markets and applications, including:
