Features Of Dow DEN 431 Phenolic Epoxy Resin

  1. High functionality phenolic epoxy resin with multiple epoxide groups per molecule for enhanced crosslink density.

  2. Excellent thermal stability and char yield, supporting performance in elevated-temperature environments.

  3. Superior chemical resistance—particularly to acids, alkalis, and solvents—after full cure.

  4. Low viscosity relative to other high-functionality phenolic epoxies, enabling improved processability and filler loading.

  5. Designed for compatibility with conventional amine and anhydride curing agents used in high-performance composites and encapsulants.

Typical Applications Of Dow DEN 431 Phenolic Epoxy Resin

  1. Aerospace composite matrices requiring flame, smoke, and toxicity (FST) compliance.

  2. Electrical encapsulation and potting compounds for high-voltage power electronics.

  3. High-performance adhesives in structural bonding of metal and composite substrates.

  4. Carbon fiber prepregs for defense and industrial tooling applications.

  5. Fire-resistant printed circuit board (PCB) laminates and bonding films.
