- Additional Information
- D.E.R.® 353 Epoxy Resin is a C12-C14 aliphatic glycidyl ether modified bisphenol A/F based epoxy resin of low viscosity.
- The performance of D.E.R.® 353 Liquid Epoxy Resin in ambient curing coating/flooring formulations is similar to that obtained with D.E.R. 324 Epoxy Resin.
- The tendency for D.E.R.® 353 Epoxy Resin to crystallize, however, is much lower than for D.E.R.® 324 Epoxy Resin.
- The enhanced crystallization resistance caused by the bisphenol A/F epoxy resin blend greatly improves the formulation stability, reduces the handling costs, and makes emptying drums easier.
- The reactive diluent contained in D.E.R.® 353 Epoxy Resin lowers both the viscosity and the surface tension of the resin compound which results in excellent surface wetting and adhesion.
- Moreover, the reactive diluent used in this resin formulation increases pot life as well as flexibility (impact resistance).
- Although the diluent reduces the solvent resistance somewhat versus regular unmodified bisphenol A epoxy resins, such as D.E.R.® 331 Epoxy Resin, it improves the acid resistance.
- Compared to other C12-C14 aliphatic glycidyl ether modified epoxy resins such as D.E.R.® 324 Epoxy Resin, an improved resistance against solvent has been demonstrated. .
- A wide variety of curing agents is available to cure this liquid epoxy resin at ambient conditions.
- Most frequently used are cycloaliphatic polyamines, polyamides, amidoamines, and modified versions of these.
- These systems are sometimes cured at elevated temperatures to improve selected properties such as chemical resistance and glass transition temperature.
- If anhydride or catalytic curing agents are employed, elevated temperature and long-post cures are required to develop full end properties
