EPON 830
Slightly Higher Molecular Weight BPA Liquid Epoxy As Compared to EPON 828, Very Good Resistance to Crystallization
EPON 830 is a slightly higher molecular weight BPA liquid epoxy as compared to EPON 828. The resin itself is resistant to crystallization and also in blends with HELOXY™ Modifiers. EPON Resin 830 is somewhat higher in viscosity than EPON Resin 828, although the viscosity is still easily handled. It provides greater reactivity when combined with most curing agents.
Application Areas/Suggested Uses
- Industrial floor toppings and grouting
- High build glaze, sealer or gel coats
- General purpose casting and encapsulation
- Base resin for dilution with Heloxy Modifiers
EPON 830 Benefits
- Slightly higher viscosity than standard liquid epoxy
- Very good resistance to crystallization
- Higher reactivity at room temperature
- Low color
- Good chemical resistance

EPON 830 liquid epoxy resins when properly formulated and cured provide an inert end-product with a unique combination of properties. They are suitable for use in high performance applications such as coatings, adhesives, civil engineering, electronic and electrical insulation, composites and fiber sizing. Cured EPON resins are generally regarded as being high strength materials, since many commonly used systems provide tensile strengths greater than 10,000 psi and modulus values greater than 400,000 psi. One of the most widely recognized applications of cured EPON Resin 830 is strong adhesion to a broad range of substrates. Such systems exhibit shear strength of up to 6,000 psi (41 Mpa). One factor which contributes to this property is the low shrinkage shown by these systems during cure. Please refer to the MSDS for the most current Safety and Handling information.
