ARALDITE® GZ 7488 V 40

ARALDITE® GZ 7488 V 40 is a solvent solution of a very high molecular weight epoxy resin. It forms a film without the use of a hardener, producing outstanding coatings through air or force drying. Additionally, its high hydroxyl content enables reactions with urea-melamine and phenol-formaldehyde crosslinking resins, resulting in excellent baking finishes. Coatings based on Araldite® GZ 7488 V-40 resin exhibit excellent adhesion, flexibility, impact and abrasion resistance, as well as chemical and corrosion resistance. A unique feature of this resin is its low degree of branching, which provides greater flexibility than the very high molecular weight Araldite® GZ 488 resin. Its more linear structure also results in higher solids content compared to the Araldite® GZ 488 V-32 resin solution.
