ARALDITE® EPN 1180 epoxy phenol novolac resins contain more than two epoxy groups per molecule, classifying them as multifunctional epoxy resins. Due to the increased epoxy functionality, EPN resins provide a high cross-link density when properly cured. Systems based on ARALDITE® EPN 1180 epoxy phenol novolac resins offer better chemical and high-temperature resistance compared to those based on standard bisphenol A epoxy resins. EPN resins are recommended for high-performance applications requiring good chemical and solvent resistance. When combined with suitable curing agents (such as polyamines, novolacs, and anhydrides), they can be used as the sole resin or blended with bisphenol A and F epoxy resins to enhance the performance of the latter. EPN resins can be used in two-component, room-temperature cure, forced-cure, or heat-cure systems. Solvent-containing, high-solids, solvent-free, or waterborne coatings can be formulated. The heat-curable systems deliver ultimate performance (chemical and thermal resistance) due to more complete reactions with curing agents at higher temperatures, overcoming the stearic hindrance of multifunctional epoxy resins.

It can be used in combination with carboxyl-terminated, oil-free polyester or acrylic resins.

ARALDITE® PY 307-1 epoxy resin is an unmodified, low-viscosity epoxy phenol novolac resin recommended for solvent-free and high-solids coatings. Having an average functionality greater than two, it is a true multifunctional epoxy resin. Due to this functionality, it provides a high crosslink density when properly cured with a variety of hardeners. Thus, coatings based on Araldite®PY 307-1 epoxy resin exhibit excellent chemical and thermal resistance, superior to coatings based on conventional epoxy resins. Araldite®PY 307-1 epoxy resin is also compatible in all proportions with liquid bisphenol-A and bisphenol-F epoxy resins, providing possibilities for formulating solvent-free and high solids coatings.

ARALDITE® PZ 33757/67 is an emulsified, crystallization-resistant epoxy resin.

ARALDITE® PZ 756-1/67 is a white emulsion epoxy resin used in industrial adhesives, sealants, coatings, and paints. It offers crystallization resistance, excellent processability, good compatibility, and high crosslinking. It functions as a binder and resin, providing reliable performance in various industrial applications.

ARA® XTREME PY 2100 US is a very low-viscosity, high-functionality amine-based, high-purity resin with relatively good storage stability. It cures very rapidly to produce products with exceptionally high heat deflection temperatures. ARA® XTREME PY 2100 US is particularly effective in a wide variety of formulating applications, including adhesives, laminating systems, and more. It can be used as a viscosity modifier and, in combination with slow-reactivity resins, can boost their cure rate. However, caution must be exercised in the selection of hardeners and cure conditions due to its rapid curing characteristics. Even moderate amounts, when cured with aliphatic amines, can develop sufficient exotherm to cause charring and smoke evolution. This can also occur if aromatic amine-hardened systems are gelled at excessively high temperatures or if catalysts, such as boron trifluoride monoethylamine, are used alone or in conjunction with aromatic hardeners.

HYPRO® 1300X43LC VTBNX copolymer is an improved, lower-color version of HYPRO® 1300X43 VTBNX. It has a longer shelf life than the standard version. HYPRO® 1300X43LC copolymer is a low-molecular-weight, methacrylate-functional liquid rubber. It is a 100% solids reactive polymer used primarily as an additive in acrylic adhesives, sealants and coatings and vinyl esters. The butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer backbone provides improved adhesion, toughness, flexibility, low-temperature properties, and impact resistance. As a component in free-radical-cured systems, the VTBNX is incorporated via the vinyl-methacrylate functionality. HYPRO® 1300X43LC VTBNX copolymer has a random co-polymer backbone with 78.5% butadiene and 21.5% acrylonitrile and multifunctionality. The butadiene provides rubber properties and extends the flexibility and adhesion to low temperatures. It also contributes excellent resistance to moisture, acids and bases. The acrylonitrile provides compatibility with polar additives and improves adhesion to oily metal and to the fiber reinforcements in polymer composites.The multifunctionality enhances the cross-linking in cured adhesives, sealants and coatings.

PHENOXY™ PKHM 301 is a solid-grade phenoxy resin blended with an oligomeric polyester polyol. It offers excellent thermal stability, adhesive strength, and chemical resistance.
