- Special Properties and Uses
Standard liquid resin for coatings with high chemical resistance. Adhesives, trowelling casting and laminating compounds.
- Suggested Uses and Processing Information
BECKOPOX™ EP 140 is a solvent-free liquid epoxy resin. Depending on choice of curing agent it can be cured at either room or elevated temperatures.
Cured systems show excellent resistance to chemicals, solvents and moisture. The shrinking of castings is low, such systems show good adhesion and excellent electrical properties.
Major uses are:
- in the construction field for chemical and abrasion resistant flooring compounds, for sealing and repairing stone and concrete structures,
- anticorrosion/solvent-free coating systems
- for cold and heat-curing trowelling and adhesive systems
- in the electrical industry for castings, impregnations and composites,
- for tool and mold constructions, patterns, models and fixtures.
Curing and processing of the resin mix can be carried out at room or elevated temperatures. The use of vacuum is also possible.

Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 1 Year
- Storage and Handling
- At temperatures up to 25°C storage stability packed in original containers amounts to at least 365 days.
- If BECKOPOX™ EP 140 develops a haziness or cristallizes upon storage, the resin can be fully restored by warming up to 50-70 °C for a certain time (preferably with stirring). To avoid these cristallization effects in general storage at elevated temperatures (40 - 60°C) is recommended.
- When handling and processing epoxy resins and hardeners, the rules and regulations established by local authorities should be observed. A Material Safety Data Sheet is available on request.
