EPON 1001F
Low Molecular Weight Solid Epoxy Resin Derived From a Liquid Epoxy Resin and Bisphenol-A
EPON 1001F is a low molecular weight solid epoxy resin derived from a liquid epoxy resin and bisphenol-A. Because of these performance properties, amine and polyamide cured coatings are especially useful in maintenance and marine applications. EPON Resin 1001F is used for its application or end-use advantages in both structural and surface-coating applications as follows:
EPON 1001F Structural Applications
Because of the excellent pre-impregnation properties, EPON 1001F is used in:
• Dry lay-up laminates
• Dry filament winding
• Transfer molding compounds
Surface Coatings
Amine or polyamide cured coatings based on EPON Resin 1001F provide excellent:
• Chemical resistance
• Durability
• Toughness
• Adhesion
Thermosetting acrylic- EPON Resin Systems
EPON Resin 1001F is used to upgrade thermosetting acrylic resins into coatings with greatly
improved:
• Adhesion
• Toughness
• Detergent resistance
Because of these specific properties, these systems are used extensively for automotive and appliance primers. Since solutions of this versatile epoxy resin are the preferred products for most of the aforementioned applications, Miller-Stephenson provides solutions of EPON 1001F in several solvents to assist customers in handling this product.
