EPOTEC YDF 171 - ADITYA BIRLA

EPOTEC YDF 171 - ADITYA BIRLA is general-purpose unmodified Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-F. Although its viscosity is more than EPOTEC YDF 170, the std. bis-F based liquid epoxy resin it is still much lower than std. bis-A liquid epoxy resins and offer advantage in terms of better chemical resistance & flexibility. EPOTEC YDF 171 is compatible with all common epoxy resins in all ratios. A blend of EPOTEC YDF 171 with bisphenol-A based liquid resin has better resistance to crystallization compared to unmodified base resins. Blending of EPOTEC YDF 171 into std. 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.
