BECKOPOX™ EP 2384W/57WA

BECKOPOX™ EP 2384w/57WA is a solid epoxy resin dispersed in water, primarily used in the formulation of rapid-drying coating systems for mineral and metal substrates. Here are some key details from the technical datasheet:

Type: Solid epoxy resin; dispersion in water.

Form of Delivery (f.o.d.): 57% in water (57WA).

Product Data:

• Dynamic Viscosity: 300 - 1300 mPa.s (23 °C).
• Epoxy-Equivalent: 650 - 850 g/mol (form of delivery), 400 - 500 g/mol (non-volatile matter).
• Non-Volatile Matter: 55 - 59% (1 h; 125 °C; 1 g).
• Colour / Appearance: Whitish.

Suggested Uses and Processing:

• Formulated with suitable curing agents (e.g., Beckopox EH 623w, EH 659w, VEH 2188w, or VEH 2177w) for rapid drying coating systems.
• Can be used for multiple coats within one working day.
• Dispersing of pigments and fillers can be carried out if the temperature does not exceed 40 °C.

Mixing Ratio and Pot Life:

• A blend with specific curing agents has a pot life at 23 °C of approximately 3 hours.
• Material should be used within the stated time limit.

Storage:

• Storage stability in original containers at temperatures up to 25 °C is at least 180 days.
• Should be protected from frost and direct sunlight.
• Syneresis (settling) may occur after long storage, especially in IBC packaging.

Distinguishing Features:

• Does not contain benzyl alcohol.
• Shows faster curing and develops harder films compared to Beckopox EP 384w.

Safety at Work and Environmental Protection:

• Standard safety precautions for handling and processing epoxy resins and hardeners should be observed.
• Material Safety Data Sheet is available upon request.

Overall, Beckopox EP 2384w/57WA is designed for efficient and rapid coating applications while providing enhanced film properties. It's essential to follow specific formulation guidelines and safety precautions for optimal results and environmental protection.
