Epotec YD 128 is an unmodified liquid epoxy resin with medium viscosity produced from bisphenol-A and epichlorohydrin. This is a standard liquid epoxy resin and a wide variety of curing agents are available to cure this liquid epoxy resin at ambient conditions and also at elevated temperature. When cured with appropriate hardener, epotec YD 128 gives excellent mechanical, chemical, electrical and adhesion properties. Because of these properties it finds use in various applications.

Applications

• Solvent based, high solids and solvent free coatings
• Adhesives
• Civil engineering and construction industry
• Automotive coatings
• Can & coil coatings
• Marine and Industrial protective coatings
• Tooling, potting, casting and moulding compounds
• Composites
• Stabilizer in PVC

Epotec YD 901H is a low molecular weight solid epoxy resin which can be used in powder coatings as well as solvent based industrial coatings. Epotec YD 901H has molecular weight & viscosity in between epotec YD 901 & epotec YD 902.
Epotec YD 901H has lower Tg & hence is prone to sinter upon storage.

Applications

• Solvent based industrial coatings
• Powder coatings

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® YD 012-X-75 is a solution of unmodified low to medium molecular weight solid diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A resin in Xylene. The dissolution of EPOTEC® YD 012 in xylene facilitates ease of handling. EPOTEC® YD 012-X-75 is used in many solvent based coating applications such as metal coatings and concrete coatings. The typical curing agents employed with this product would be polyamides or phenalkamines. When used as the sole resin or in conjunction with other resins YD 012-X-75 imparts faster drying speeds, increased flexibility and adhesion, and longer pot life, when compared to liquid epoxy resin or type 1 solid epoxy resin.
