Key Properties

Coatings based on Araldite GY 793 are particularly easy to process owing to their low viscosity. Within this viscosity class, they are characterized by high resistance to chemicals and reduced sedimentation of extra fine fillers and pigments. Their surface quality at low temperatures and high air humidity is visibly better than with Araldite GY 794 .

Storage & Handling

Storage and Handling Information

Araldite® GY 793 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 793 is unlikely to crystallize. If crystallization occurs, it can be restored to its original condition by heating it to 50 - 70 °C and stirring it thoroughly.
