BECKOPOX™ EP 140

BECKOPOX™ EP 140 is a liquid epoxy resin designed for various applications such as coatings, adhesives, trowelling compounds, casting, laminating compounds, and more. Here's a breakdown of its key features, specifications, compatibility, suggested uses, and storage guidelines:

Type:

• A-liquid epoxy resin.

Form of Delivery (f.o.d.):

• 100% concentration.

Special Properties and Use:

• Standard liquid resin known for coatings with high chemical resistance.
• Suitable for adhesives, trowelling compounds, casting, and laminating compounds.

Product Data:

• Dynamic Viscosity: 11000 - 15500 mPa.s (at 25 1/s and 23°C).
• Epoxy-Equivalent: 180 - 190 g/mol.
• Iodine Colour Number: ≤ 3.
• Density: Approximately 1.16 g/cm³ (at 20°C).
• Flash Point: > 100°C (Pensky-Martens).

Dilutability:

• Can be diluted with special white spirit, methoxypropyl acetate, xylene, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and more.

Compatibility:

• Compatible with various epoxy resins and other binders depending on the percentage composition.

Suggested Uses and Processing:

• Used in construction for chemical-resistant flooring compounds, sealing and repairing stone and concrete structures, anticorrosion coating systems, trowelling and adhesive systems, electrical industry for castings, impregnations, and composites, and tool- and mould constructions.
• Can be cured at room or elevated temperatures, offering excellent resistance to chemicals, solvents, and moisture.

Storage:

• Recommended storage temperature: up to 25°C.
• Storage stability in original containers: at least 365 days.
• If the resin develops haziness or crystallizes upon storage, it can be restored by warming up to 50 - 70°C for a certain time, preferably with stirring.
• Storage at elevated temperatures (40 - 60°C) is recommended to avoid crystallization effects.

Distinguishing Features:

• Similar in properties to Beckopox EP 116 but shows crystallization tendency at lower temperatures.

Safety at Work and Environmental Protection:

• Observance of local authorities' rules and regulations when handling and processing epoxy resins and hardeners.
• Material Safety Data Sheet available on request.

Production:

• Mention of Novares LA 700 (VFT AG) in production.
