Epotec YD 909 Epoxy Resin

Description

What is Epotec YD 909 Epoxy Resin?

Epotec YD 909, manufactured by Grasim Industries, is a solid epoxy resin derived from bisphenol-A with a high molecular weight. Designed primarily for industrial coating applications, it is ideally suited for use in single-pack, baking-type systems such as epoxy-amino and epoxy-phenolic coatings. These formulations are commonly employed in the packaging industry, where durability and chemical resistance are critical.

What sets Epotec YD 909 apart is its balanced flexibility and excellent resistance to food-related chemicals, making it a preferred choice for food-contact safe coatings. The resin’s high hydroxyl functionality also enables its use in 2K polyisocyanate-curable systems, which can be applied at ambient temperatures for efficient curing and strong adhesion.

In addition, the higher softening point of this product contributes to the development of coatings with enhanced surface hardness and mechanical strength, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Chemex Chemicals is an Authorized Distributor of Grasim Industries’ EPOTEC Epoxy Resins in India, offering reliable access to premium-grade products like Epotec YD 909.
