Epilox® Reactive Diluents
Reactive diluents are low-viscosity glycidyl ethers of aliphatic alcohols and alkylphenols. They are mainly used for diluting high-viscosity epoxy resins based on bisphenols and novolacs. The use of reactive diluents improves properties such as processing viscosity, pot life and wettability of pigments or additives.
