D.E.R 324 Epoxy Dow Chemical Epoxide (EP) >> Bisphenol A based ADHESIVE D.E.R.* 324 liquid epoxy resin is C12 - C14 aliphatic chain glycidyl ether modified bisphenol-A based liquid epoxy resin. D.E.R. 324 liquid epoxy resin offers a lower surface tension (≈ 15 %) than other reactive diluent modified liquid epoxy resins. The lower surface tension results in excellent surface wetting, adhesion and lower viscosity at a given filler loading. The reactive diluent increases pot-life as well as flexibility (impact resistance). Although the reactive diluent limits the solvent resistance somewhat, acid resistance is improved. A wide variety of curing agents is available to cure this liquid epoxy resin at ambient conditions. The most frequently used curing agents include (cyclo-) aliphatic polyamines, polyamides, amidoamines, and modified versions of these curing agents. These systems may be cured at elevated temperatures to improve selected properties such as chemical resistance and glass transition temperature. Elevated temperature cures are necessary and long post-cures are required to develop full end properties if anhydride or catalytic curing agents are employed. NOTE: D.E.R. 324 epoxy resin might crystallize. This reversible, physical phenomena can be greatly avoided by storing the resin at temperatures not below 25ºC. Adhesives Aliphatic glycidyl ether modified bisphenol-A based liquid epoxy resin. Has a lower surface tension than other reactive diluent modified liquid epoxy resins. Provides good surface wetting, adhesion and low viscosity. Offers increased acid resistance, pot-life, flexibility and limited resistance to solvent. Can be cured by (cyclo-) aliphatic polyamines, polyamides, amidoamines, and modified versions of these curing agents.
