Advantages
  • The blend greatly improves the crystallization resistance of this material as against the individual bisphenol-A or bisphenol-F based liquid epoxy resins
  • The reactive diluent in the blend also helps in reducing the viscosity of the product so that it can be suitably formulated into high solids or even solvent free coatings and floor toppings
  • compatible with all common epoxy resins in all ratios
Other Applications

High solids and solvent free coatings
Adhesives
Solvent free self leveling flooring
Other construction applications
Marine and Industrial protective coatings

Storage

Epotec YDFM 251 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 YDFM 251 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.

Handling

All the common epoxy curing agents can be employed to cure epotec YDFM 251 based system.
