This paper examines the effect that curing temperature has on the physical characteristics and performance of standard cure polyamide epoxies as compared low temperature cure epoxies. The purpose for this paper is threefold: FIRST, to determine if the low temperature curing epoxies are viable substitutes for the standard cure epoxies. SECOND, to determine if curing temperature can adversely affect the cure of epoxy coatings, thereby compromising corrosion protection. THIRD, to determine if a product from one manufacturer is an acceptable substitute for a similar product from another manufacturer?
