ARALDITE® EPN 1179 N 98

ARALDITE® EPN 1179 N 98 contains 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 1179 N98 epoxy resin possess better chemical and high temperature resistance than those based on standard bisphenol A epoxy resins.

Chemical Family: Phenol & Cresol Epoxy Resins (Novolac)

Product Applications
  • EPN resins are recommended for high performance applications requiring excellent chemical and solvent resistance.
  • When combined with suitable curing agents (i.e. polyamines, novolacs and anhydrides), they can be used as the sole resins, or in blends with bisphenol A and F epoxy resins, to upgrade the performance of the latter.
  • EPN resins can be used in two-component room temperature cure, forced cure or heat cure systems.
  • Solvent-containing, high solids, solvent-free or waterborne coatings can be formulated.
  • The heat-curable systems produce the ultimate performance (chemical and thermal resistance).
  • This is due to more complete reactions with the curing agents at higher temperatures, and overcoming the steric hindrance of the multifunctional epoxy resins.
