ARALDITE GY 298 is a 100% reactive epoxy resin. Unlike non-reactive flexibilizers such as dibutyl phthalate, it is incorporated chemically into the molecular structure of the epoxy. Its use results in coatings and compounds exhibiting very good flexibility and relatively good chemical resistance.
Applications & Uses

- Applications
- Application Details
When blended with unmodified, aromatic epoxy resins such as ARALDITE GY 250 and cured with polyamine hardeners or their adducts, ARALDITE GY 298 is suitable for the flexibilization of solvent-free coatings or flooring, trowelling and sealing compounds.
- Product Application
Modified long-chain aliphatic resin. High elasticity.

Storage & Handling
- Storage Information
ARALDITE® GY 298 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 298 may crystallize if stored for protracted periods under certain conditions. If crystallization occurs, it can be restored to its original condition by heating it to 50 - 70 °C and stirring it thoroughly. Shelf life (at storage temperature between 2 - 40 °C) (see expiry date on original container) several years
