These defects are caused by the development of a layer of less than fully cured amines on the surface, which may be in the form of semi-crystalline carbonates formed by reaction of primary amines with carbon dioxide (blush), or simply a greasy layer on the surface (exudate).
The rates of Michael addition of primary amines are higher than that of secondary amines [22], therefore, Michael addition of the secondary amine (piperazine) to HABP was proceeded for 48 h at 38[degrees]C to ensure the completion of the reaction.
Vulkanox HPG is said to be characterized by a particularly low content of primary amines.
