Technical Data Sheet
EPON™ RESIN 862
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
EPON™ Resin 862 (Diglycidyl Ether of Bisphenol F) is a low viscosity, liquid epoxy resin manufactured from epichlorohydrin and Bisphenol-F. This resin contains no diluents or modifiers. EPON Resin 862 may be used as the sole epoxy resin or combined with other resins such as EPON Resin 828. When blended with EPON Resin 828, EPON Resin 862 provides a technique to reduce viscosity with no sacrifice in chemical and solvent resistance properties, and the blended resin will exhibit improved crystallization resistance properties when compared to the neat, liquid, Bisphenol-A or Bisphenol-F type resins.
APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS
| Applications | Solventless or high solids/low VOC maintenance and marine coatings Chemical resistant tank linings, floorings, and grouts Fiber reinforced pipes, tanks, and composites Tooling, casting, and molding compounds Construction, electrical, and aerospace adhesives |
| Benefits | Low viscosity and low color Reacts with a full range of epoxy curatives Good balance of mechanical, adhesive, and electrical properties Good chemical resistance Superior physical properties vs. diluted (6 Poise) resins |

HANDLING AND STORAGE
EPON Resin 862 should be stored in tightly sealed containers of metal, glass, or polyolefin plastic at normal room temperatures. If EPON Resin 862 develops haziness or crystallizes during storage, it can be restored to its original condition by gently warming the container and its contents to approximately 170-190°F until all visual evidence of crystallization is gone. Upon cooling to normal ambient temperature conditions, the product will regain its original liquid state physical properties. This process can be repeated as necessary.
When necessary to heat EPON Resin 862 for extended periods of time, it is recommended that an inert gas blanket the resin surface.
SAFETY AND HANDLING
Exposure to these materials should be minimized and avoided, if feasible, through the observance of proper precautions, use of appropriate engineering controls and proper personal protective clothing and equipment, and adherence to proper handling procedures. Please refer to the MSDS for the most current Safety and Handling information.
