Epotec YD 136 is unmodified semi-solid diglycidyl ether based on Bisphenol- A. This is an intermediate molecular weight resin with molecular weight between liquid epoxy resin epotec YD 128 & type 1 solid epoxy resin epotec YD 011. Due to its high viscosity and semi-solid nature it finds use in adhesives & protective coatings. It can also be used to modify other resins to improve adhesion & flexibility. Due to its high viscosity it is normally handled in solvent-cut form.
