- Suggested Uses and Processing Information
- BECKOPOX™ EP 2384w is a type 1 solid epoxy resin as aqueous dispersion. Formulated together with suitable curing agents such as BECKOPOX™ EH 623w, EH 659w, VEH 2188w or VEH 2177w it results in rapid drying coating systems for mineral and metal substrates. The rapid drying property makes it possible to apply more coats within one working day.
- Dispersing of pigments and fillers can be carried out in BECKOPOX™ EP 2384w if the temperature does not exceed 40°C. The formulated paint stability can be influenced by additives; the additives should not contain functional groups capable of reacting with epoxy groups.
MIXING RATIO AND POT LIFE
A blend of 100.0g BECKOPOX™ EP 2384w/57WA 50.6g BECKOPOX™ VEH 2188w/55WA has a pot life at 23°C of approx. 3 hours. The termination point cannot be observed through viscosity increase or gelation, it is therefore necessary to use the material within the stated time limit. The substrate temperature should not be below 12°C and the relative humidity not above 80%.

Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 180 Days
- 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 2384w from frost and direct sunlight; at low temperatures it has be stored under frostproof conditions.
- As a result of the high solids content of the product and the solid resin character of the polymer, the product tends to form a tiny skin upon foaming and temperature changes during storage. Therefore filtration of the product (without heating) before applied by the end-user is recommended.
- It is important to know that BECKOPOX™ EP 2384w tends to syneresis (settling) after long storage but the product is intact and syneresis can be reversed by stirring.
- 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.
