Phenodur EP 560 is used as a crosslinker for epoxy, hydroxyl, carboxyl and amide functional vehicles to produce baked films with excellent chemical resistance, corrosion protection and adhesion.
Phenodur EP 560 contributes film flexibility superior to that from other typical phenolic resins. This greater flexibility enables Phenodur EP 560 to be used at higher concentrations and/or greater total film thicknesses and thereby provides improved chemical and corrosion resistance. Another unique advantage of Phenodur EP 560 is its lower temperature cure response. This superior cure response is observed both in the presence and in the absence of the recommended phosphoric or sulfonic acid catalysts.
These advantages lead to the utility of Phenodur EP 560 in can and drum linings and in coil-coated and spray-applied metal primers and topcoats. In these applications, Phenodur EP 560 is used with epoxy, alkyd and polyester vehicles at levels of 20 - 50 % of crosslinker solids on total binder. Phenodur EP 560 is also useful at 1 - 5 % levels in other formulations to upgrade intercoat and metal adhesion.

- Storage and Handling
At temperatures up to 77 °F (25 °C) storage stability packed in original containers amounts to at least 365 days.
Storage at lower temperatures can maximize shelf life further, e. g. at 40 ° - 50 °F (4 °- 10 °C).
