3 You not only need quality products from a reliable supplier, you need a company that is willing to share its technical expertise and that will provide services to help satisfy your unique requirements. That s where Momentive Specialty Chemicals Inc. ( Momentive ) comes Products for America (North and South) 17:552At A GlanceEPON Liquid Epoxy Resins and Blends This segment of our product line represents the most widely used products in a number of industries. The most commonly used EPON Resin/V. C. HELOxy Modifier blends are available in several types and viscosity grades. 6 - 7 EPON Epoxy Resin Solutions These products are higher molecular weight standard or modified epoxies which are dissolved in solvent to allow easier handling and formulation because of lower - 10 EPON Solid and Powder Grade Resins These Epoxy Resins are in the molecular weight range most suitable for use in Epoxy solutions, powder coating, composite and electronic applications.

4 These products have a good balance of properties, including appropriate Epoxy functionality for proper curing, good physical stability (sintering resistance), and good melt flow (low melt viscosity).10 - 11 EPON Epoxy Novolac Resins These products are specifically designed to provide increased levels of thermal stability and chemical resistance, and are used in composites, structural adhesives, electronics / electrical and coating Epoxy Polyacrylates These are very low viscosity Resins possessing excellent wetting characteristics and rapid reaction rates with amine curatives over a broad temperature Elastomer Modified Epoxy Resins These products offer improved adhesive properties, thermal shock resistance and toughness, with good fatigue resistant Cycloaliphatic Resin This segment offers a low viscosity liquid Epoxy based on hydrogenated Bisphenol A for applications requiring UV and EPONOL Electrical Laminating Resins These products can be used to obtain fire retardance in a base Epoxy resin formulation.

5 The ultra-high molecular weight resin can be used to improve flexibility and modify the flow properties of the and EPIKOTE Epoxy Resins for Composites Epoxy Resins that provide the property retention, toughness and corrosion protection required in composite EPI-REZ Epoxy Waterborne Resins These non-ionic aqueous dispersions of our Epoxy Resins provide benefits such as lower VOC, extended pot life, high crosslink density, high temperature performance, very good chemical resistance, B-stage capability, low color, and complete water-reducibility. Many of the Momentive EPIKURE Curing Agents can be used with these Epoxy dispersions. In addition, since dicyandiamide is water soluble, it may be used to provide extended pot life 17:553 The Formulator s ChoiceAll of our products are manufactured to high standards of quality and have very specific property ranges. To help you assess the many production and performance advantages of Momentive s complete line of Resins , we ve summarized typical properties and resin characteristics in this product bulletin.

6 The data in this bulletin is intended to give only basic product information for quick reference individual product technical data sheets with additional information are available for most of the products listed in the following pages. For additional information about these products, or to contact us, visit the Epoxy , Curing Agents and Modifiers section of the Momentive website at Solution Coding SystemEpoxy Resins employ a simple three-part coding system for designating the composition of resin solutions. The coding system consists of a number indicating the Epoxy resin used in the particular solution, followed by one or more letters that describe the solvent or combination of solvents used to make up the solution. The last two numbers indicate the percent solids (by weight) of the composition. For example:EPON Resin 1001-H-75 In this example, the base resin used to make this solution is the EPON Resin 1001F type.

7 The solvent used is Propylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether (PM), as shown in the next table, and the solids content is 75 percent by weight.
