EPOTEC YDF 172

Additional Information

Applications

Solvent based, high solids and solvent free coatings Adhesives Civil engineering and construction industry Composites

Advantages

excellent mechanical, chemical, electrical and adhesion properties (When cured with appropriate hardener) This resin provides less crystallization tendency compared with standard liquid resin

Storage

Epotec YDF 172 resin should be stored in original tightly closed container, in dry and warm conditions. Under these conditions, it has a storage life of at least two years from the date of manufacturing. Although epotec YDF 172 has much better crystallization resistance than standard epotec YDF 170, in extreme weather conditions it may turn hazy or become crystallized. In such case 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.

Handling

A wide variety of curing agents are available to cure this liquid epoxy resin at ambient conditions and also at elevated temperature.
