ALBIFLEX® XP 544

Epoxy-silicone copolymer. Used as a base resin for formulating elastic coatings. Can be used as an additive for elastification of conventional, brittle epoxy resins. Provides outstanding adhesion on very many substrates, high mechanical strength, good chemical resistance, high elasticity even at low temperature, good aging resistance and very good dielectrical properties. Can be used with almost all epoxy hardeners such as aliphatic and cycloaliphatic amines, poyaminoamides, acid anhydrides, dicyandiamide and catalytic hardeners such as tertiary amines, imidazoles and BF3 complexes. Offers reactivity with aliphatic amines, good weather resistance with cycloaliphatic amines, flexibility through longer-chain polyaminoamides or ether diamines and good electrical values with cycloaliphatic acid anhydrides. Suits particularly for elastification of cationic, UV and heat-curing coatings.
