- Coating Type
- Suggested Uses and Processing Information
- BECKOPOX™ EP 2340w is a modified A-liquid epoxy resin that is already emulsified in water. Formulated together with adequate curing agents such as BECKOPOX™ EH 623w, EH 613w or VEH 2106w it is suited for coatings on mineral and metal substrates. The end of processing time is shown by a noticeably increase of viscosity resp. gelation in combination with BECKOPOX™ VEH 2106w.
- BECKOPOX™ EP 2340w can be formulated together with solid resin dispersions e.g. BECKOPOX™ EP 384w or EP 385w to improve their hardness and adhesion to porous substrates.
- Coatings with BECKOPOX™ EP 2340w show good drying at low temperatures and elevated atmospheric moisture.
MIXING RATIO AND POT LIFE
A blend of 100,0g BECKOPOX™ EP 2340w/56WA, 46,5g BECKOPOX™ EH 623w/80WA, 46,5g deionized water has a pot life at 23°C of approx. 4 hours. The termination point cannot be observed through viscosity increase or gelation when formulated together with BECKOPOX™ EH 623w/80WA. It is therefore necessary to use the material within the stated time limit.

- Storage and Handling
- At temperatures up to 25°C storage stability packed in original containers amounts to at least 180 days.
- It is important to protect BECKOPOX™ EP 2340w from frost; at low temperatures it has therefore to be stored under frost proof conditions. The viscosity of BECKOPOX™ EP 2340w can drop during storage.
- 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.
