Properties

Reactive diluents have low viscosity owing to their low molecular weight. Their vapour pressure is higher and their physiological effectiveness greater than that of unmodified epoxy resins. The use of ARALDITE® DY-C in surface technologies has the following effects, according to the amount included:

  • moderate to marked lowering of viscosity.
  • improved processibility
  • less tendency to turn yellow.
  • virtually no reduction in surface hardness
  • reduced acid resistance, and in many cases reduced solvent resistance.

Applications & Uses

Product End Uses
Mastics
Application Information

Can be mixed with unmodified bisphenol-A or bisphenol-A/F epoxy resins to formulate low viscosity epoxy resins for solvent-free coatings, flooring screeds and mastics.
ARALDITE® DY-C should preferably be used when considerable hardness, a wide glass transition range and/or good ammonia resistance is required. In certain combinations it is resistant to organic solvents.
