ARALDITE® EPN 1180 A 85

ARALDITE® EPN 1180 is a polyfunctional resin characterized after curing by a high cross-linking density. Formulations based on ARALDITE® EPN 1180 or its solutions exhibit high reactivity. Cure at ambient temperature gives adequate film properties, but post-cure at 40 to 60 °C increases cross-linking and consequently improves resistance to chemicals and temperature.
Post-cured coatings show:

1. very good resistance to inorganic and organic acids
2. outstanding resistance to alkalis and to organic solvents
3. good resistance to hot water.

ARALDITE® EPN 1180 and its solutions are suitable for the production of coatings coming into contact with foodstuffs.

Alone or in combination with liquid or solid bisphenol-A epoxy resins, ARALDITE® EPN 1180 (former designation: ARALDITE® GY 1180) and its solutions can be used for the production of low-solvent coatings showing very high resistance to chemicals and solvents. Suitable ARADUR® are particularly aliphatic polyamines and their adducts

• ARALDITE® EPN 1180 and its solutions are fully compatible with modified and unmodified epoxy resins based on bisphenol-A as well as with aliphatic and aromatic reactive diluents.
• They are likewise miscible with most commercially available polyamines and their adducts.
• Compatibility with polyamidoamines such as the ARADUR® 815-2, 825-2, 840-2 is limited.

Mandatory and recommended industrial hygiene procedures should be followed whenever our products are being handled and processed.

• ARALDITE EPN 1180 and its solutions should be stored in a dry place, preferably in the sealed original containers, at temperatures between 2 and 40 °C.
• The products should not be stored exposed to direct sunlight.
