Special Properties and Uses

BECKOPOX™ VEP 2381w is a solid type 1 epoxy resin as aqueous dispersion. When cured with suitable curing agents such as BECKOPOX™ EH 623w or EH 659w fast drying coating systems for mineral and metallic substrates can be formulated.

Suggested Uses and Processing Information

MIXING RATIO AND POTLIFE

A blend of 100,0g BECKOPOX™ VEP 2381w/55WA 22,2g BECKOPOX™ EH 623w/80WA 22,2g deionized water has a potlife of approx. 40 minutes at 23°C. The termination point cannot be observed by viscosity increase or gelation so that is recommended to use the formulated mix within the stated time limit.

Storage & Handling

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™ VEP 2381w from frost und direct sunlight; at low temperatures it has to be stored under frostproof conditions. The viscosity of BECKOPOX™ VEP 2381w might decrease during storage. The product tends to form a tiny skin on the surface. It is therefore recommended to filter BECKOPOX™ VEP 2381w prior to use.
  • Lowest storage temperature: 5°C
  • 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.
