ARALDITE® EPN 1180 MBC

• ARALDITE® EPN 1180 MBC 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 1180 MBC possess better chemical and high temperature resistance than those based on standard bisphenol A epoxy resins.
• 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.

• Excellent solvent resistance
• Outstanding chemical resistance
• Exceptional heat resistance

• ARALDITE® EPN 1180 MBC 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.
