Product Features & Benefits

• NitroRez ES-P40 is a 40% NV solution of Phenoxy resin in methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and PMA.
• Phenoxy resins (polyhydroxyethers) are tough, ductile, amorphous polymers adhesive and cohesive strength, and excellent vapor barrier properties.
• Phenoxy resins also react with crosslinkers like isocyanates, phenolic & melamine resins along the backbone hydroxyl groups.
• NitroRez ES-P40 MEK provides for ease of handling in a pumpable fluid.
• NitroRez ES-P40 MEK can be reduced with additional MEK to attain lower viscosities, however below about 22% solids, the solution becomes unstable.
• An addition of 1% by weight of water will permit stable solutions below 22% solids.
• Solutions of ES-P40 MEK can be blended with solvent miscible crosslinkers & hardeners.
• Coatings of ES-P40 MEK exhibit excellent levels of flexibility and hardness when appropriately cured.
