EPIKOTE™ Resin 828LVEL

Description

EPIKOTE Resin 828LVEL is a medium viscosity liquid epoxy resin produced from bisphenol A resin and epichlorohydrin and contains no diluent. Its viscosity range is intermediate between that of EPIKOTE 827 and EPIKOTE 828EL.  The principal feature of this resin is its low hydrolysable chlorine content. EPIKOTE 828LVEL provides good pigment wetting and good resistance to filler settling and a high level of mechanical and chemical resistance properties in cured state. However, as an unmodified pure bisphenol A resin, EPIKOTE 828LVEL is prone to crystallise on storage, particularly in cold conditions (see bulletin EK 1.5.11 for a description of the laboratory test method used to determine the crystallisation tendency of EPIKOTE resins). Note, EPIKOTE 827, 828EL and 828 LVEL are unmodified resins of similar type and performance; they offer the formulator a choice of viscosity.
