ARA® XTREME PY 2100

ARA® XTREME PY 2100 US is a very low-viscosity, high-functionality amine-based, high-purity resin with relatively good storage stability. It cures very rapidly to produce products with exceptionally high heat deflection temperatures. ARA® XTREME PY 2100 US is particularly effective in a wide variety of formulating applications, including adhesives, laminating systems, and more. It can be used as a viscosity modifier and, in combination with slow-reactivity resins, can boost their cure rate. However, caution must be exercised in the selection of hardeners and cure conditions due to its rapid curing characteristics. Even moderate amounts, when cured with aliphatic amines, can develop sufficient exotherm to cause charring and smoke evolution. This can also occur if aromatic amine-hardened systems are gelled at excessively high temperatures or if catalysts, such as boron trifluoride monoethylamine, are used alone or in conjunction with aromatic hardeners.

Storage & Handling

Storage Information

ARA® XTREME PY 2100 should be stored in a dry place, in the sealed original container, at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (35.6°F and 46.4°F ). Under these storage conditions,
the shelf life is 3 years (from date of manufacture). The product should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Never store ARA® XTREME PY 2100 US in warm areas, particularly near heat sources or hot equipment, or even in direct sunlight, because violent exothermic reaction or explosion may result. Storage at higher temperatures may adversely affect properties. Maximum temperature this product should be subjected to while thawing for use should not exceed 37.8°C (100°F). To facilitate handling of ARA® XTREME PY 2100 US as a workable liquid, warm the container gradually by letting it stand in an area at room temperature (approximately 24°C (75°F) prior to use. Never accelerate warming by using hot ovens, band heaters, hot plates, open flames, or any means, which could cause a “hot spot”. Such practices may initiate violent exothermic reaction or explosion. Contamination, especially by acidic or basic substances, may also start a violent exothermic reaction and must be avoided.
