Question

How to calculate amine equivalent weight from amine value

Answer 1

Answer:

The amine value is a analytical characteristic number which has no direct relation to the crosslinking mechanism. The amine value identify the primary, secondary and tertiary amines. Important for the reaction with epoxy resins are only the nitrogen bond hydrogenatom of the primary and secondary amines. The hydrogen equivalent is the calculation of the molecular weight of the polymanine divided by the amount of the active hydrogen atom. Active hydrogen atom is the one which is connected with a nitrogen.
