Chemical Composition

a bisphenol-A liquid epoxy resin modified with reactive diluent

Advantages
  • offers lower viscosity & lower surface tension.
  • the low viscosity improves the cost effectiveness by increasing filler loading.
  • the low surface tension improves adhesion by better substrate wetting, it also helps in better pigment wetting and thereby improve the pigment dispersion and stability.
Other Applications

Self leveling floorings
Trowelable mortars and grouts
High solids and solvent free coatings
Other construction applications
Adhesives

Storage

Epotec YD 515 resin should be stored in original tightly closed container, in dry and warm conditions to avoid crystallization. Under these conditions, it has a storage life of at least two years from the date of manufacturing.
Epotec YD 515 may become hazy or crystallize upon long storage especially when exposed to low temperatures.
The resin can be restored to its original condition by warming to 55-60ºC while stirring.
For handling or pumping the maximum temperature recommended is 80ºC.

Handling

A wide variety of curing agents are available to cure this liquid epoxy resin at ambient conditions and also at elevated temperature.
