When using amine cured epoxy resin coatings in a multi-layer system, if the original coating cures in a low ambient temperature and/or in a high humidity environment, problems – referred to in the industry as amine blush can develop. The presence of amine blush can lead to inter-coat adhesion failures if the film is re-coated. The Elcometer 139 Amine Blush Swab Test Kit is a rapid colorimetric test designed solely for the use in the quick and immediate identification of … Read More

The Elcometer 139 Amine Blush Chip Screen Test Kit is a rapid colorimetric test designed solely for the use in the quick and immediate identification of amine blush (carbamates) on the surface of coatings using small chips or shavings. The presence of amine blush is indicated by a visual change of colour of the test solution when compared with a control sample. The Elcometer 139 determines whether amine blush is or is not present on the coating’s surface. Elcometer 139 … Read More
