Epotec® YDF 171

Epotec® YDF 171 by Aditya Birla Chemicals is a general-purpose unmodified Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-F based epoxy resin. Although its viscosity is more than Epotec® YDF 170, it is still much lower than bis-A liquid epoxy resins and offer advantage in terms of better chemical resistance & flexibility. It is compatible with all common epoxy resins in all ratios. A blend of this grade with bisphenol-A based liquid resin has better resistance to crystallization compared to unmodified base resins. Blending of Epotec® YDF 171 into standard bis-A based liquid epoxy resin brings down viscosity without affecting performance parameters unlike reactive diluent modified resin that affects mechanical, chemical and thermal resistance of the system. A combination of bis-A liquid epoxy, bis-F liquid epoxy and reactive diluent is possible and used in various applications. Used in automotive coatings, marine and industrial protective coatings.
