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 011-X-75 is a solution of unmodified low molecular weight solid diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A resin in Xylene. The dissolution of Epotec YD 011 in xylene facilitates ease of handling.

Epotec YDF 170 is general-purpose unmodified low viscosity diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-F. In addition to offering advantage in terms low viscosity, epotec YDF 170 provides better chemical resistance & flexibility when compared to similar bisphenol-A based liquid resin.
Epotec YDF 170 is compatible with all common epoxy resins in all ratios. A blend of epotec YDF 170 with bisphenol-A based liquid resin has better resistance to crystallization compared to unmodified base resins. Blending of epotec YDF 170 into std. bis-A based liquid epoxy resin brings down viscosity without affecting performance parameters unlike reactive diluent modified resin that affects mechanical, chemical and thermal resistance of the system.

Applications

• Solvent based, high solids and solvent free coatings
• Adhesives
• Civil engineering and construction industry
• Automotive coatings
• Coil coatings
• Marine and Industrial protective coatings
• Tooling, potting, casting and molding compounds
• Composites

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 YDPN 638 is a semi-solid phenol novolac based multifunctional epoxy resin. The high viscosity of this resin render it to be used as it is and invariably it is used in solution form or by blending with other lower viscosity epoxy resins. Epotec YDPN 638 has functionality of approx. 3.6 in its original form. This higher functionality of epotec YDPN 638 imparts highly cross-linked three-dimensional network when cured. This high cross link density offers excellent chemical resistance and mechanical properties such as hardness and abrasion resistance. Epotec YDPN 638 can be used alone or can also be blended with other conventional epoxy resins to improve there chemical and thermal resistance characteristics. It exhibits better retention of chemical, mechanical and electrical resistance properties at elevated temperatures.

Epotec YDPN 661 is a multifunctional epoxy phenol novolac resin. This resin has multi-epoxy functionality of ~ 2.5 Epotec YDPN 661 resin is a general-purpose, widely used epoxy phenol novolac resin having lowest viscosity in the epotec YDPN series of products. Epotec YDPN 661 is widely employed to produce chemical resistant coatings, linings and also floor toppings.

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

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.

Epotec RD 103 is a low viscosity, aliphatic di-epoxide compound based on 1,4-butane diol. It is intended for use as a reactive diluent for high viscosity epoxy resins. Epotec RD 103 is compatible in all concentrations with all common epoxy resins. These resin/diluent blends can be cured using variety of curing agents. The di-functionality of epotec RD 103 helps to produce formulations with improved toughness. The di-fuctionality of epotec RD 103 also helps in retaining the chemical resistance characteristics of the system to a large extent.
