ERISYS GE-10
ERISYS GE-10
ERISYS GE-10, epoxidized ortho cresol, is a low viscosity, aromatic, mono-epoxide. It is intended for use as a reactive diluent for high viscosity epoxy resins. ERISYS® GE-10 is compatible at all concentrations with those resins and resin/diluent blends can be cured using any epoxy resins curing agents.
Due to its structure, this product is not as efficient in viscosity reduction as aliphatic diluents ERISYS GE-5, GE-6, GE-7, or GE-8. However, the performance properties of epoxy formulations diluted with GE-10 are modified less than those of systems containing the aliphatic monofunctional diluents. Depending on the concentration, properties such as gel time, room temperature strength, and modulus of a GE-10 diluted formulation remain relatively unchanged compared to an undiluted mix.
A further feature of ERISYS GE-10 is its ability to reduce the tendency of certain epoxy resins to crystallize, thereby producing formulations with improved homogeneity. This product’s low vapor pressure and exceptionally low residual epichlorohydrin level make it ideally suited for environmentally difficult applications such as floor coating and concrete repair.
ERISYS GE Series glycidyl ether monomers and modifiers are low molecular weight epoxy functional products based on alcohols, glycols, and phenols. The product line covers a broad range of TSCA-approved monomers from mono-epoxy functional to multi-epoxy functional materials.
