Key Properties
Due to their low molecular weight, reactive diluents have low viscosity. On the other hand their vapour pressure is higher and their physiological effectiveness greater than in the case of unmodified epoxy resins. The incorporation of ARALDITE® DY-D has the following effects:
- A fair to good reduction of viscosity
- A slight decrease of reactivity
- An improved processability
- Practically no reduction of hardness
- A poor warm water resistance
- A clearly decreased acid resistance
- High resistance to solvents and ammonia.
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Applications
- Product Applications
- Unmodified bisphenol-A and bisphenol-A/F epoxy resins - such as ARALDITE® GY 250, GY 260, GY 261, GY 266, PY 302-2 or PY 304 - are mixed with ARALDITE® DY-D to produce low viscosity epoxy resins for solvent-free coatings, flooring compounds and mastics. ARALDITE® DY-D is very versatile, as it changes properties of binder systems only slightly. It causes pronounced skin irritation, special attention to precautions as ventilation, gloves and protective cream must be given.
