ERISYS GE-11
ERISYS GE-11
ERISYS GE-11, epoxidized para-tertiary butyl phenol, is an aromatic mono-epoxide. This product is intended for use as a reactive diluent for high viscosity epoxy resins and it is compatible at all concentrations with those resins. Resin/diluent blends can be cured using any curing agent for epoxy resins.
ERISYS® GE-11, due to its aromatic structure, 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 this product 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 an ERISYS GE-11 diluted formulation remain relatively unchanged compare to an undiluted resin. However, a decline in elevated temperature performance, as indicated by decreasing Tg with increasing ERISYS GE-11 concentration occurs. Cured formulations containing GE-11 exhibit excellent moisture resistance. ERISYS GE-11’s low vapor pressure, low odor, and exceptionally low residual epichlorohydrin level make it ideally suited for environmentally difficult applications. Another feature of this product is its ability to reduce the tendency of certain epoxy resins to crystallize, thereby producing formulations with improved homogeneity.
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.
