Additional Information

The uniqueness of D.E.R.® 332 Liquid Epoxy Resin is reflected in its maximum epoxy equivalent weight of 176 grams/equivalent (the chemically pure diglycidylether of bisphenol A has an epoxy equivalent weight of 170 g/eq). Because of its high purity and low polymer fractions content, D.E.R.® 332 Epoxy Resin assures uniform performance and exceptionally low viscosity, low chloride content and light color. Under some cure conditions this epoxy resin provides improved elevated temperature properties over standard bisphenol A based epoxy resins such as D.E.R.® 332 Epoxy Resin for example.

D.E.R.® 332 Epoxy Resin is used mainly in filament winding, electrical laminates and encapsulation applications. A wide variety of curing agents is available to cure this liquid epoxy resin at ambient conditions. Most frequently used curing agents are cycloaliphatic polyamines, polyamides, amidoamines, and modified versions of these. Curing may also be done at an elevated temperature to improve selected properties such as chemical resistance and glass transition temperature. Elevated temperature cures are necessary and long post-cures are required to develop full end properties if anhydride or catalytic curing agents are employed.
