Q1: What is the primary application field for BECKOPOX EP 117?
A: BECKOPOX EP 117 is a liquid bisphenol-A based epoxy resin primarily designed for high-performance industrial coatings, including can and coil coatings, where excellent adhesion, chemical resistance, and cure response are required.
Q2: Is BECKOPOX EP 117 suitable for food-contact coating applications?
A: BECKOPOX EP 117 is formulated to support compliance with major global food-contact regulations when incorporated into fully cured, properly validated coating systems. Final regulatory suitability depends on the complete formulation, processing conditions, and end-use requirements.
Q3: How does BECKOPOX EP 117 compare to solid epoxy resins in terms of processing?
A: As a low-viscosity liquid resin, BECKOPOX EP 117 enables easier handling, solvent-free or low-solvent formulations, improved pigment wetting, and simplified mixing—particularly beneficial for high-speed coil and can coating lines requiring consistent rheology and rapid dispersion.
Q4: Which curing agents are commonly used with BECKOPOX EP 117?
A: BECKOPOX EP 117 is compatible with a broad range of amine-based hardeners, phenolic resins, and anhydride systems. Selection depends on the target performance profile—including cure speed, flexibility, and chemical resistance—as well as the intended application method and thermal profile.
