What is Epotec YD 011 X 75 Epoxy Resin?

Epotec YD 011 X 75 is a solvent-cut epoxy resin widely used in high-performance industrial coatings and adhesives. It is a solution of unmodified low molecular weight solid diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A resin (DGEBA) in xylene, which ensures easy handling, application, and superior surface penetration.

This epoxy resin is known for its outstanding adhesion, durability, chemical resistance, and weatherability, making it a preferred choice in demanding environments exposed to solvents, chemicals, and abrasion. Its solvent-cut formulation further improves wetting and penetration properties, ensuring reliable and long-lasting performance.
