HYPOX® RM 20

HYPOX® RM20 is an adduct of CTBN with epoxidized neopentyl glycol. Compared to standard epoxy resin/CTBN adducts, this product has a lower viscosity coupled with a high rubber content and is intended for use in combination with standard epoxy resins when the end-use application requires toughening and lower viscosity. HYPOX® RM20 adduct will increase flexibility, crack resistance, fatigue resistance, peel resistance, and adhesive properties. It will also improve the cathodic disbondment property when used in coating formulations for underground buried pipes in oil and gas transport applications.
