Epotec YD 128G 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 128G gives excellent mechanical, chemical, electrical and adhesion properties. Because of these properties it finds use in various applications.

Epotec YD 128G is produced from epichlorohydrin derived from the renewable bio-diesel by-product glycerine. Bio-content of Epotec YD 128G is 26% minimum.

• 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 YDH 3000 is diglycidyl ether of hydrogenated bisphenol-A. Due to the cyclic rings of saturated bisphenol-A this resin is expected to give good resistance to ultraviolet light and weathering which is a limitation when it comes to standard bisphenol-A based epoxy resins. This also opens doors for cycloaliphatic epoxy resin epotec YDH 3000 for use in outdoor coating applications where it is expected to give better non-yellowing characteristics and chalking resistance. The choice of curing agent also plays an important role in getting better performing formulations.

Epotec YDH 3000 shows much lower viscosity than std. bisphenol-A based epoxy resins making it feasible to develop cost effective coating formulations with increased filler content.

Applications

• Coatings for outdoor application on metal, wood and concrete surface
• High solids coatings including baking finishes
• Modifier for industrial acrylic finishes
