ARALDITE® DY P

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

• Moderate to marked lowering of viscosity
• Very marked lowering of reactivity
• Improved processibility
• Slightly reduced surface hardness
• Slightly reduced resistance to acids
• Less resistance to solvents and ammonia.

• May 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-P should preferably be used when good resistance to aqueous, neutral and above all acid media is required.

• 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.

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

ARALDITE® DY-P 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.
