HYPOX® RA 1340

• HYPOX® RA1340 is a high-viscosity adduct of the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) and a butadiene-acrylonitrile (CTBN) elastomer.
• The elastomer improves the toughness and impact, thermal shock and peel resistance of the epoxy formulation.
• These improvements are attained with little loss of thermal resistance and modulus.
• HYPOX® RA1340 is compatible with all standard bis-A epoxy resins and curing agents.

HYPOX® RA1340 adduct is suggested for use as a toughener in fiber-reinforced products, adhesives, molding compounds, potting and encapsulating compounds and chemical-resistant
coatings.

• Molding compounds
• Industrial Adhesives
• Impact resistance coatings
• Thermocycling modifier for epoxies
• Toughening of prepreg, composites and structural adhesives

• HYPOX® RA1340 is not a primary skin irritant or sensitizer. However, as with any epoxy material, irritation can result from repeated or prolonged contact.
• The symptoms of this irritation may appear as a mild reddening or a more pronounced rash. It is, therefore, important to avoid skin contact where possible. Butyl rubber gloves, full eye protection and protective clothing are recommended.
• Skin contact: Wash well with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and wash thoroughly before reusing. It is recommended that resin not be removed from skin with solvents since solvents increase contact and encourage penetration. Moreover, solvents of themselves dry and crack the skin.
• Eye contact: Flush immediately with large quantities of water. 

• HYPOX® RA1340 adduct should be stored in a dry place, in the sealed original containers, at temperatures between +2°C and +40°C (+35.6°F and +104°F).
• Under these storage conditions, the product has a shelf life of 12 months (from date of manufacture).
• The products should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
