ARALDITE® EPN 1138 SP

ARALDITE® EPN 1138 SP contain more than two epoxy groups per molecule and can be described as multifunctional epoxy resins. Due to the increased epoxy functionality, EPN resins provide a high cross-link density when properly cured. Systems based on ARALDITE® EPN 1138 SP possess better chemical and high-temperature resistance than those based on standard bisphenol A epoxy resins.
