ERISYS GS-120
ERISYS GS-120
ERISYS GS-120 is the diepoxide of a long chain aliphatic dimer acid. This product is expected to find utility as a reactive additive which imparts a degree of flexibility to normally rigid epoxy systems. The low viscosity of ERISYS® GS-120 will reduce the viscosity of your formulation, allowing for increased filler loading and improved handling. It will increase toughness and tensile elongation, and improve impact and thermal shock resistance. Improvements in tensile shear and peel adhesion will also be realized. These benefits are achieved, however, with some sacrifice in elevated temperature performance and chemical resistance.
This product is typically used as a flexibilizing diluent with liquid DGEBA resins such as EPALLOY 7190. It is also ideally suited for use as a reactive diluent for use with HyPoxTM DA323, a dimer adduct of DGEBA resin. In combination with other resins the possibility of forming incompatible blends exists and, therefore, the use of GS -120 may have to be avoided for some applications.
EPALLOY 7190/GS-120 blends can be cured with all typical epoxy curing agents except epoxy/amine adducts, where incompatible cured formulations may result.
