ARADUR® 3776 XW 55

Coatings formulated with ARADUR® 3776 XW 55 are characterized by:

• Long pot lives, depending on the araldite resin selected
• Tack-free films without prereaction
• Outstanding adhesion to metals, concrete and wood
• High flexibility of the cured films
• Good to very good chemical resistance.

With bisphenol-A epoxy resins, semi-solid as Araldite® GY 280, or solid as Araldite® GT 7071 or GT 7072, for solvent-containing, ambient-curing high-performance coatings for metals or concrete. With polyfunctional epoxy resins as Araldite® EPN 1180 for coatings with particularly high chemical resistance.

• Main solvent is a 1:1 mix of xylene and butanol. Esters and ketones should not be added to hardeners. Solvent residues in coatings impair heat and chemical resistance, this is particularly noticeable in the case of water-soluble slow evaporating solvents such as methoxy propanol. Fast evaporating ketones (e.g. methyl isobutyl ketone) in the resin component facilitate spray application, slower evaporating ketones are preferred for brush annlication

• Hazardous decomposition products (when disposed of in fire) carbon monoxide, carbondioxide, nitrogen oxides and other toxic gases and vapours.
• Handling Precautions: Mandatory and recommended industrial hygiene procedures should be followed whenever our products are being handled and processed.

ARADUR® 3776 XW 55 should be stored in a dry place, preferably in the sealed original container, at temperatures between 2 and 40°C. The product should not be stored exposed to direct sunlight.

Shelf life (at storage temperature between 2 - 40°C) - min. 3 years
