6. Tanks and Pipelines: It can be used to coat tanks and pipelines that store or transport chemicals, oils, and other liquids. Its chemical resistance and durability make it an ideal choice for these applications. It can be used to create tanks, pipes, and other components that can withstand exposure to corrosive chemicals.
7. Automotive Coatings: It can be used for Automotive primers, Automotive topcoats, Automotive clear coats. Overall, it is an important component in the formulation of high-quality automotive coatings that provide excellent durability, chemical resistance, and adhesion.
8. Can & Coil Coatings: When used in can coatings, it can help to improve the durability of the coating, making it more resistant to scratches and other types of damage that can occur during handling and transport. This is particularly important for food and beverage cans, as the coating must be able to withstand the rigors of transportation without cracking or chipping, which could compromise the safety and quality of the contents. In coil coatings, it can help to improve the adhesion of the coating to the metal surface, ensuring that it stays in place and provides effective protection against corrosion and other types of damage. The epoxy resin can also help to improve the overall appearance of the coating, giving it a smooth, glossy finish that enhances the aesthetic appeal of the metal surface.
9. Bridges and Highways: It can be used to coat bridges and highways to protect them from corrosion, weathering, and wear and tear. Its high durability and UV resistance make it ideal for these outdoor applications.

Properties of Epotec YD 128 Epoxy Resin:

Epotec YD 128 is a two-part epoxy coating that consists of a resin and a hardener. When mixed together, the resin and hardener react chemically to form a strong and durable coating. Some of the key properties of Epotec YD 128 Epoxy Resin are:

1. High Adhesion: It exhibits excellent adhesion to a wide range of surfaces, including concrete, steel, aluminum, and other substrates commonly used in construction.
2. Chemical Resistance: It is resistant to a variety of chemicals, including acids, alkalis, solvents, and oils, making it ideal for use in harsh chemical environments.

Technical Specifications / Technical Data Sheet / TDS of Epotec YD 128 Epoxy Resin:

Packaging & Storage Information:

• 235 kilograms of brand new intact steel barrels
• It should be stored in original tightly closed container, in dry and warm conditions to avoid crystallization. Under these conditions, it has a storage life of at least two  years from the date of manufacturing. Epotec YD 128 Epoxy Resin may become hazy or crystallize upon long storage especially when exposed to low temperatures. The resin can be restored to its original condition by warming to 55-60ºC while stirring. For handling or pumping the maximum temperature recommended is 80ºC.
