ARALDITE® GT 7071

ARALDITE® GT 7071 is a low molecular weight, unmodified solid epoxy resin designed for use in high-performance protective and decorative coatings. It can be cured with polyamines, amine adducts, polyamide hardeners, or acrylic resins. The resin is characterized by excellent batch-to-batch uniformity, good clarity and color, a narrow molecular weight distribution, and favorable solubility characteristics. For the convenience of formulators, ARALDITE® GT 7071 is also available in various solvent types and solvent combinations (see Data Sheet for Araldite® GZ 471 and Araldite® GZ 571 epoxy resin solutions).

Processing Information

Pigmentation

Araldite® GT 7071 and the resin solutions based from it, are easily pigmented using standard pigment dispersion techniques. Formulated coatings may be applied by conventional techniques such as spray, airless spray, roller, brush, etc.

Curing

The cure schedule depends upon the type of formulation used (e.g. resins, co-reactant or hardener, pigmentation, solvents) and the conditions of application (i.e. temperature, humidity, film thickness, etc.). Cure time varies with temperature.

Storage & Handling

Storage and Handling Information

Araldite® GT 7071 Resin is supplied in 100 pound bags. It should be stored in a dry place, in the sealed original container, at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (36°F and 46°F). If stored under warmer conditions, sintering may occur. Under these storage conditions the shelf life is 5 years (from date of manufacture). The product should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Araldite® GT 7071 should be protected from excessive heat.
