Technical Details & Test Data
YX8000D significantly decreases photo curing time to reach sufficient crosslinking reaction level compared to a conventional CER.
CER: Cycloaliphatic epoxy resin
Light source 200mW/cm2, no filter, 25°C
Photo cationic catalyst CPI 100P San Apro Ltd.
Transparency data of YX8000*
High transparency can be achieved by YX8000D.
*YX8000 is a former version of YX8000D with higher Cl impurity.
Curing condition: 100°C x 3hr + 130°C x 3hr
Curing agent: Acid anhydride type
YX8000 addition to CER improves adhesiveness to metal substrates.
*YX8000 is a former version of YX8000D with higher Cl impurity.
