Epotec YD 134 is an unmodified semi-solid epoxy resin based on Bisphenol-A. At normal room temperature of 25°C this resin has high viscosity & has no or very little flowability. This resin has molecular weight higher than standard liquid epoxy resin epotec YD 128. Due to its viscous, semi-solid nature this resin is used, normally with solvents or applied at elevated temperature to induce the flow, mainly in adhesives & protective coatings. It can also be used to modify other epoxy resins to impart or improve the toughness, flexibility, adhesion etc.

Epotec YD 134 resin should be stored in original tightly closed container. Under these conditions, it has a storage life of at least two years from the date of manufacturing.
For handling or pumping the maximum temperature recommended is 80ºC.
Various curing agents can be employed to cure epotec YD 134 epoxy resin.
Although it can be cured at room temperature elevated temperature curing develops the full properties of the system.
