Allnex BECKOPOX EP 140 Epoxy Resin – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary application area for BECKOPOX EP 140?

A: BECKOPOX EP 140 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 flexibility are required.


Q2: How does BECKOPOX EP 140 differ from standard solid epoxy resins like EPON 828 or DGEBA?

A: Unlike conventional solid epoxy resins, BECKOPOX EP 140 is a low-viscosity liquid with a tailored molecular weight distribution, enabling easier handling, improved formulation stability, and enhanced compatibility with common crosslinkers—especially in high-solids or solvent-reduced systems.


Q3: Is BECKOPOX EP 140 suitable for food-contact coatings?

A: BECKOPOX EP 140 is formulated to support compliance with global food-contact regulations when incorporated into fully cured, validated coating systems. Final regulatory suitability depends on the complete formulation, curing conditions, and intended end-use—consult Allnex for technical documentation supporting food-contact applications.


Q4: Which crosslinking agents are commonly used with BECKOPOX EP 140?

A: It exhibits good reactivity with standard amine-based hardeners (e.g., aliphatic or cycloaliphatic amines), as well as with carboxyl-functional polyesters and anhydrides in thermoset systems. Compatibility and cure performance should be verified experimentally for each specific formulation.
