RECOMMENDED FORMULATION USE

EC-392 is recommended for use in epoxy systems or in combination with acrylates, methacrylates, and maleimides. For an all epoxy system a 20% excess of epoxy is recommended for thermosets. Levels of difunctional epoxies near equivalent ratios can produce tough thermoplastic resins. Standard epoxy catalysts such as amines, imidizoles, and Lewis acids work well to cure the EC-392 with an epoxy resin. Standard free-radical initiators work well to cross-link through allyl groups. Bismaleimides, in the absence of free-radical initiators, can also be used to cure the pendant allyl groups in EC-392 via ene and Diels-Alder reactions.
