Q1: What is the primary function of ARALDITE GT 6097 in epoxy formulations?
A: ARALDITE GT 6097 is a solid, high-molecular-weight epoxy resin designed primarily as a reactive diluent and viscosity modifier. It helps reduce melt viscosity during processing while maintaining high thermal stability and contributing to enhanced mechanical performance in cured systems.
Q2: Is ARALDITE GT 6097 compatible with standard amine and anhydride hardeners?
A: Yes, it exhibits good reactivity with common aromatic and aliphatic amines, as well as cyclic anhydrides. Its solid form and low volatility make it suitable for high-temperature curing processes and solvent-free formulations.
Q3: How should ARALDITE GT 6097 be handled and stored to maintain stability?
A: Store in original sealed containers at temperatures between 10 °C and 30 °C, away from moisture, direct sunlight, and strong oxidizing agents. Due to its solid nature, gentle warming may be required for handling—avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures above 60 °C to prevent premature softening or degradation.
Q4: Can ARALDITE GT 6097 be used in food-contact or potable water applications?
A: ARALDITE GT 6097 is not pre-qualified for direct food-contact or potable water applications. Formulators must conduct full regulatory evaluation—including migration testing and compliance verification—based on final cured system composition and intended use conditions.
