- Product Properties
- For an unmodified epoxy resin, ARALDITE® GY 285 MBC has a remarkably low viscosity.
- This enables the formulation of relatively low viscous coatings and flooring compounds, which are easy to apply.
- The reactivity and chemical resistance of such formulations correspond roughly to that of unmodified bisphenol-A epoxy resins and are clearly superior to resins containing reactive diluents.
- ARALDITE® GY 285 MBC can be mixed in any desired proportion with other epoxy resins.
- Addition of at least 25% of bisphenol-A epoxy resin or of epoxidized phenol novolak (ARALDITE® EPN 1180) will practically eliminate the tendency to crystallization.

Storage & Handling
- Storage Information
- ARALDITE® GY 285 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. ARALDITE® GY 285 MBC shows a tendency to crystallization.
- The crystallization can be reversed by heating the resin to 40°C whilst stirring.
