ARALDITE® DY F

ARALDITE® DY-F is a long-chain aliphatic diglycidyl ether with a distinctive low viscosity. The vapour pressure is higher and the physiological effectiveness greater than that of unmodified epoxy resins. The use of ARALDITE® DY-F in surface technologies has the following effects, according to the amount included:

• Moderate reduction of viscosity
• Clear reduction of reactivity
• Improved adhesion to pickled steel
• Clearly increased flexibility and resistance to loose gravel
• A clear reduction in surface hardness and general resistance to chemicals
• A relative loss of resistance to hot water.

• 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. In these systems ARALDITE® DY-F may be used both as a reactive diluent and simultaneously as a flexibilizer, in which case there is a clear reduction in reactivity. But Araldite DY-F may also be used to increase resistance to loose gravel.

• Hazardous decomposition products (when disposed of in fire) carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other toxic gases and vapours.
• Handling Preacutions: Mandatory and recommended industrial hygiene procedures should be followed whenever our products are being handled and processed.

ARALDITE® DY-F 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.

Shelf life (at storage temperature between 2 - 40°C) - several years
