Features & Benefits
- CASE Ingredients Features
- Properties
Due to the low viscosity and the full crystallization resistance Araldite® P GY 257 is a most suitable epoxy resin in formulating solvent free systems yielding,
- Very good processing properties
- Good mechanical performances
- Good surface penetration
- Medium chemical resistance / good acid and solvent resistance
Applications & Uses
- Markets

- Coating Type
- Industrial Additives End Use
- Application
Araldite® P GY 257can be cured with polyamines, polyamidoamines or their adducts for solvent-free coatings, self-leveling and mortar floors, concrete injections, structural adhesives, trowelling compounds and impregnation systems. In combination with unmodified epoxy resins, like Araldite® P GY 250 and Araldite® P GY 6010 the viscosity of the end formulation can be reduced.
