- 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.
