ARALDITE® DY 023

• Reducing viscosity of epoxy systems by addition of reactive diluents will
• Afford the following advantages:
• Easier handling and mixing
• Improved wetting characteristics

Mixing Procedures

• All reactive diluents should be mixed with the resin first. This mixture can be stored for several months. Fillers and hardeners are incorporated just before processing, the latter being stirred in last. Pot life and curing conditions depend on the choice of the epoxy resin and hardener. Since the reactive diluent also has to be cured, it is necessary to adjust the amount of the hardener which is calculated as follows:
• The mixing ratio of Araldite® GY 6010 and ARADUR® 956 is 25 phr, i.e., it takes 25 parts by weight of the ARADUR® 956 to cure 100 parts by weight of Araldite® GY 6010. When added a reactive diluent, e.g., Araldite® DY 023, the hardener ratio should be varied in the same proportion as the epoxy value of the resin / diluent mixture.
