EPOTEC YDF 170

Additional Information

Applications

Solvent based, high solids and solvent free coatings Adhesives Civil engineering and construction industry Automotive coatings Coil coatings Marine and Industrial protective coatings potting Tooling, casting and molding compounds Composites

Advantages

low viscosity better chemical resistance & flexibility when compared to similar bisphenol-A based liquid resin compatible with all common epoxy resins in all ratios A blend of epotec YDF 170 with bisphenol-A based liquid resin has better resistance to crystallization compared to unmodified base resins Blending of epotec YDF 170 into std. bis-A based liquid epoxy resin brings down viscosity without affecting performance parameters unlike reactive diluent modified resin that affects mechanical, chemical and thermal resistance of the system It has excellent adhesion to various surfaces and maintains its adhesion under wider temperature fluctuations

Storage

Epotec YDF 170 resin should be stored in original tightly closed container, in dry and warm conditions to avoid crystallization. Under these conditions, it has a storage life of at least two years from the date of manufacturing. Epotec YDF 170 may become hazy or crystallize upon long storage especially when exposed to low temperatures. The resin can be restored to its original condition by warming to 55-60ºC while stirring., For handling or pumping the maximum temperature recommended is 80ºC.
