ARALDITE® PY 306

ARALDITE® PY 306 is a bisphenol-F diglycidyl ether with exceptionally low viscosity. It is suitable for solvent-free coatings and floorings and can be blended with bisphenol-A and bisphenol-F epoxy resins to reduce viscosity. When combined with aromatic diamines, it is also suitable for advanced composite applications manufactured through resin transfer molding (RTM) and filament winding. ARALDITE® PY 306 is a mixture of para/para, ortho/para, and ortho/ortho stereoisomers. It is used in advanced composite structures, adhesives, RTM, filament winding, and high-performance epoxy applications.
