The manufacturing of epoxy systems began in 1960 in Cibatul Ltd, a joint venture between the erstwhile Ciba-Geigy, Switzerland and Atul. Following the split of Ciba-Geigy into two different companies, Cibatul was merged into Atul in 1999. The state-of-the-art manufacturing facility for these products is located at the first manufacturing site of the Company in Atul. In addition to its leadership position within India, Atul also sells its Polymers products to discerning customers outside the country. The Polymers Business has been awarded ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001 certification. Lapox® is a registered trademark of Atul Ltd.

Phenalkamine CURING AGENTS ANNEXURE Calculating the mixing ratio of epoxy resin with curing agent: To calculate Amine Hydrogen Equivalent Weight (AHEW), use the following equation: AHEW = Molecular weight of amine Number of active hydrogen atoms To calculate the stoichiometric ratio of curing agent with resin, use the following equation: PHR of amine = AHEW X 100 Epoxy Equivalent Weight To calculate Epoxy Equivalent Weight (EEW) of the mixture that contains reactive and non-reactive additives, diluents and fillers, use the following equation: EEW of the mixture = Total weight Weight of component A Weight of component B Weight of component C EEW of component A EEW of component B EEW of component C 22 23
