Epalloy 5001 Accelerated epoxidized hydrogenated bisphenol A 30583-72-3 CVC Epoxy Resins >> Bisphenol A based EPALLOY 5001 is an accelerated version of the cycloaliphatic diepoxide EPALLOY 5000. Room temperature curing formulations based on EPALLOY 5001 will set up and cure in significantly shorter times than those based on EPALLOY 5000. 5001 contains no unsaturation or aromatic structures, therefore, it is expected to provide excellent resistance to outdoor weathering. Compared to formulations based on DGEBA, EPALLOY 5001 will provide improved chalking resistance and gloss retention. Curing agent selection, to achieve optimum weathering resistance, should be done with great care. Cycloapliphatic amines, not accelerated with aromatic compounds or acids, are recommended for curing. The low viscosity of EPALLOY 5001 will allow higher filler loading than DGEBA. Reduced shrinkage and cost reductions will result. The adhesion and chemical resistance characteristics of EPALLOY 5001 based formulations are expected to be similar to DGEBA systems. It is used in exterior coatings for tanks, concrete dikes, steel structures, rail cars. An accelerated version of the cycloaliphatic diepoxide.
