AP 8030

AP 8030 is a unique pale colored non reactive diluent based on cashew nut shell liquid technology. It is an ether alcohol with unsaturated long chain in meta position. Due to its non reactivity with both epoxy resins as well as amine hardeners at ambient temperature, it can be used in both the components in epoxy-amine systems to reduce viscosity, make low VOC and application friendly compositions.
