Epoxy Resin 128

Categories:

Epoxy Resin 128 (DGEBA) , 128 (Also known as YD-128, E-51, 618). BOXIN Epoxy Resin 128 is a standard, unmodified liquid bisphenol-A type epoxy resin characterized by high purity, medium viscosity, and low inorganic chlorine content. It serves as a highly versatile basic raw material, offering low volumetric shrinkage during curing and exceptional compatibility with various curing agents like amines, anhydrides, and polyamides.

Epoxy Resin 128 is produced from bisphenol-A and epichlorohydrin, resulting in a clear, colorless to light yellow liquid with 100% non-volatile content. It is widely recognized as the most versatile bisphenol A type liquid epoxy resin in the industry.

Core Features and Performance

  • Excellent Processability: Features good fluidity, making it easy to mix, defoam, cast, and coat. It offers a moderate pot life for convenient construction and can be cured at room or elevated temperatures.
  • Superior Cured Properties: The cured product exhibits excellent mechanical strength, high adhesion, and outstanding chemical and heat resistance.
  • Dimensional Stability: Provides excellent electrical insulation and high dimensional stability, ensuring the product is not easy to deform after curing.
  • High Purity: Maintains low hydrolysable chlorine content (Max. 0.05%) for sensitive electronic and industrial applications.

Application Scope

This resin is a fundamental component in a wide range of fields:

  • Coatings: Solvent-based and solvent-free systems including anti-corrosion, marine, automotive primers, and epoxy floor coatings.
  • Adhesives: Structural adhesives, construction planting, and concrete repair adhesives.
  • Electronics: Component potting, circuit board encapsulation, and insulation casting.
  • Civil Engineering: Structural reinforcement, waterproof plugging, and bridge pavement.
  • Composites: FRP and carbon/glass fiber reinforced products.

Storage & Safety

  • Storage: Store in a dry, clean, and well-ventilated warehouse; avoid direct sunlight and keep away from heat/fire. The storage period is at least 12 months.
  • Handling: Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes as it is low-toxic but irritating. If contact occurs, wash skin with soap and water; for eyes, flush for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.

Common Problems & Solutions

Common ProblemsSolutions
Haziness or crystallizationWarm the product to 55-60℃ with stirring to restore it to a clear liquid state, which does not affect its performance.
Poor curing effectCheck the type and dosage of curing agent, ensure uniform mixing; adjust the curing temperature and time according to the application scenario.
Poor adhesionClean the substrate surface to remove oil, dust and other impurities; select a suitable curing agent and adjust the mixing ratio to improve adhesion.
Excessive viscosity affecting constructionProperly increase the temperature to reduce viscosity; add appropriate diluents (compatible with the system) to adjust the fluidity.
