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.

Epotec YD 017 is a high molecular weight bisphenol-A based solid epoxy resin. It is mainly used to make single pack, baking type epoxy-amino, epoxy-phenolic coatings that are used in packaging industry. This product can also be used in the manufacturing of epoxy esters, to produce industrial protective coatings. The high hydroxyl content of epotec YD 017 can be used to prepare ambient, polyisocyanate curable, 2K system. Epotec YD 017 has higher softening point. This property imparts good hardness to the coating.

Epotec TH 7540 is a medium-low viscosity reactive polyamide used as a curing agent for liquid or solution grade epoxy resins such as Epotec YD 515 or epotec YD 011X-75 to produce room temperature curable thermoset coatings. Epotec TH 7540 is specially used in solvent based anti-corrosion coatings and shows compatibility with wide range of solvents normally used in epoxy based coatings. Coatings based on Epotec TH 7540 are relatively more chemical resistant and normally lower in viscosity than Epotec TH 7515 based coatings. The coatings based on Epotec TH 7540 shows good toughness and adhesion properties. Because of these properties it finds use in various applications.
