ARALDITE® DY A

ARALDITE® DY A diluent is a colorless, clear aliphatic glycidyl ether based on 2-ethylhexanol. It is primarily used as an additive to reduce the viscosity of liquid epoxy resins. The relatively long alkyl chain structure of ARALDITE® DY-A, combined with the polar epoxy group, results in efficient viscosity reduction and reduced surface tension. Epoxy resins modified with ARALDITE® DY-A diluent exhibit good wetting and leveling properties at low diluent concentrations.
