China-based production enhances supply chain efficiency for epoxy resin formulations
Guangdong, China — April 5, 2025 — Guangdong Dahua New Materials Co., Ltd. has announced the launch of a new amine epoxy hardener designed for use in industrial epoxy resin systems. This product delivers fast ambient cure, low viscosity, and high chemical resistance, offering a competitive alternative to similar curing agents currently produced by international companies such as Aditya Birla Chemicals, Cardolite (bio-based alternatives), Huntsman, and Evonik (formerly Air Products).
By manufacturing domestically in China, Dahua provides a localized solution that reduces lead time, lowers overall procurement costs, and improves access for customers in the Asia-Pacific coatings market, the world’s largest by volume.
“This type of amine hardener has been widely used abroad, but previously had limited availability from local producers,” said Zhang Wei, Technical Director at Dahua. “Our production now allows Chinese and regional manufacturers to source this performance profile directly, without relying on imports.”
Product Highlights
- Low-viscosity amine epoxy hardener
- Fast cure at ambient temperature
- Excellent resistance to water, chemicals, and solvents
- Compatible with solvent-free and high-solids epoxy formulations
- Can be used alone or blended with other cycloaliphatic amine hardeners
Target Industries
This epoxy resin hardener is engineered for use across a range of industrial sectors:
- Protective and anti-corrosion coatings
- Marine and offshore structures
- Electrical potting and insulation
- Concrete flooring and construction resins
- Composites in wind energy and automotive components
Competitive Advantage
Unlike comparable products made in Europe, the United States, or India, Dahua’s China-based production offers logistical advantages for regional users. This supports a more efficient supply chain and cost optimization without compromising technical performance.
