ARALDITE® DY - E2

ARALDITE® DY-E2 is a monofunctional, aliphatic, reactive diluent designed specifically for epoxy resins. It enhances the viscosity and processing characteristics of epoxy systems while maintaining their excellent adhesive properties. Ideal for use in a wide range of industrial applications, ARALDITE® DY-E2 provides optimal performance in formulations that require low viscosity and controlled reactivity.

Applications
Product Applications
  • 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.
  • A further advantage of this diluent is its low hazard potential in terms of industrial hygiene; it is better than any other reactive diluent in this respect.

Properties

Product 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-E2 in surface technologies has the following effects, according to the amount included:

  • A very clear reduction in viscosity and reactivity
  • Uniformly good film surface quality (partly dependent on the hardener)
  • A clear improvement in processability
  • A moderate to good increase in flexibility
  • A reduction in resistance to hot water and to chemicals.

Storage & Handling

Handling Precautions

Mandatory and recommended industrial hygiene procedures should be followed whenever our products are being handled and processed.

Storage Information

ARALDITE® DY-E2 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.
