- 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.
