DMP-30, for embedding
2,4,6-Tri(Dimethylamino Methyl)Phenol] a distilled amine accelerator for epoxy resins. DMP-30 is a faster curing agent than DMP-10, giving a shorter time for the epoxy/anhydrite mixture to infiltrate the tissue. Better infiltration is achieved using DMP-10. Both accelerators have been successfully used with the araldites (502, 506, 6005), tEPON-812 and Thiokol LP-3. Packaged under dry-microfiltered nitrogen.
