EPOTEC® YD 515 is a bisphenol-A liquid epoxy resin modified with reactive diluent. This resin offers lower viscosity & lower surface tension. Both these properties are advantageous while formulating. The low viscosity improves the cost effectiveness by increasing filler loading & the low surface tension improves adhesion by better substrate wetting, it also helps in better pigment wetting and thereby improve the pigment dispersion and stability. A wide variety of curing agents are available to cure this liquid epoxy resin at ambient conditions and also at elevated temperature. Sometimes systems based on this grade are post cured to improve certain characteristics such as glass transition temperature and chemical resistance.

Epotec YDF 172 is a liquid epoxy resin reaction product of Bisphenol F and epichlorohydrin. This resin provides less crystallization tendency compared with standard liquid resin.

Epotec RD 110 is the mono-glycidyl ether of 2-ethyl hexanol. The primary use of epotec RD 110 is as a reactive diluent for high viscosity epoxy resins. Epotec RD 110 is compatible in all concentrations and those resin blends can be cured with variety of curing agents.

Recyclamine® R802 is an amine curing agent which enables recyclable thermosetting epoxy. It possesses low viscosity, cures at ambient temperature and exhibits moderate reactivity with di-epoxide resins. Unlike conventional thermoplastics, cross-linked thermosetting matrix from Recyclamine® R802 undergoes cleavage by low energy solvolysis at specific conditions, resulting in recovering of the epoxy matrix as thermoplastic resin. In fiber reinforced composites, Recyclamine® R802 enables recycling & recovery of reinforcement and epoxy matrix as thermoplastic resin. The recovered materials can be re-used to close the loop.
