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.
