EC-861 is a phenyl acetate epoxy curative. When cured with an epoxy, the resulting thermoset displays a high level of toughness and flexibility. The monomer is hydrophobic by nature and results in more hydrophobic thermosets. The low viscosity (which can result in lower viscosity in final products) makes it an ideal monomer to formulate in epoxy resin systems. The phenyl acetate end group, unlike phenolics, does not interfere with free-radical cure in hybrid adhesive systems.
