Q1: What is the primary functional role of KD-448H in epoxy formulations?
A: KD-448H is a reactive liquid diluent designed to reduce viscosity and improve processability of standard bisphenol-A or bisphenol-F based epoxy resins without significantly compromising crosslink density or thermal performance.
Q2: Is KD-448H suitable for high-gloss, low-VOC coating systems?
A: Yes — as a reactive diluent, KD-448H participates in the curing reaction and remains part of the polymer network, contributing to VOC reduction while supporting excellent film formation, hardness development, and gloss retention in industrial and protective coatings.
Q3: How does KD-448H compare to non-reactive diluents in terms of mechanical properties?
A: Unlike non-reactive solvents or plasticizers, KD-448H covalently bonds into the cured matrix, helping maintain tensile strength, chemical resistance, and heat deflection temperature — especially when used at typical incorporation levels.
Q4: Can KD-448H be used in electrical encapsulation or potting compounds?
A: Yes — its low volatility, good compatibility with common epoxy hardeners, and ability to enhance flow and air release make it well-suited for medium- to high-performance encapsulation applications where dielectric integrity and thermal stability are required.
