ERISYS® GE 10 EX

ERISYS® GE 10 EX is an epoxidized ortho cresol used as a reactive diluent for high-viscosity epoxy resins. It provides minimal change to the performance properties of diluted formulations, reduces crystallization, and is ideal for environmentally challenging applications like floor coatings and concrete repair.

Product Features
  • ERISYS® GE-10 EX CI, epoxidized ortho cresol, is a low viscosity, aromatic, mono- epoxide. It is intended for use as a reactive diluent for high viscosity epoxy resins. GE-10 EX CI is compatible at all concentrations with those resins and resin/diluent blends can be cured using any epoxy resins curing agents.
  • ERISYS® GE-10 EX CI, due to its structure, is not as efficient in viscosity reduction as aliphatic diluents ERISYS® GE-5, GE-6, GE-7 or GE-8. However, the performance properties of epoxy formulations diluted with GE-10 EX CI are modified less than those of systems containing the aliphatic monofunctional diluents. Depending on concentration, properties such as gel time, room temperature strength, and modulus of a GE-10 EX CI diluted formulation remain relatively unchanged compared to an undiluted mix.
  • A further feature of GE-10 EX CI is its ability to reduce the tendency of certain epoxy resins to crystallize, thereby producing formulations with improved homogeneity. ERISYS® GE10 EX CI' s low vapor pressure and exceptionally low residual epichlorohydrin level make it ideally suited for environmentally difficult applications such as floor coating and concrete repair.
