ARALDITE® GZ 488 V 32

ARALDITE® GZ 488 V 32 resin is a very high molecular weight epoxy resin solution. Since film forms without the use of hardener, it produces outstanding surface coatings by air or force drying. In addition, the high hydroxyl content of the resin permits reaction with urea-melamine, and phenol-formaldehyde crosslinking resins to produce excellent baking finishes. Coatings based on Araldite® GZ 488 V-32 resin exhibit excellent adhesion, flexibility. impact and abrasion resistance, and chemical and corrosion resistance.

Curing Information

When formulated without hardeners, ARALDITE® GZ 488 V-32 resin coatings can be air-dried or force dried. The cure schedule for coatings containing phenolic or amino resins may vary from 60 minutes at 149°C (300°F) to two minutes at 232°C (450°F). The use of an acid catalyst will shorten the bake cycle.
