Miller Stephenson 826-QT Epoxy Resin

EPON 826 is a low viscosity, light colored liquid bisphenol A based epoxy resin. It finds use in a variety of applications (coatings and composites) when crosslinked or hardened with appropriate curing agents. The Benefits of EPON 826 include:

EPON 826 is commonly used to fabricate high strength fiber reinforced pipes and composites. The low viscosity of the resin provides rapid wetout of a wide range of reinforcing fibers including glass, graphite, aramid and boron. High fiber content with low void content can be achieved with this resin. Structural composites such as this have a high ratio of strength to weight. This makes them suitable for applications ranging from sporting goods equipment to aerospace structural members.

EPON Resin 826 systems are also excellent electrical insulators. Such systems are used frequently in electrical encapsulations, laminates and molding compounds.Structures, linings and coatings made with EPON™ Resin 826 protect metal surfaces and resist attack from acids, bases, solvents and fuel. They find use in the oil, gas, mining and chemical industries.The higher shear strength obtained with EPON Resin 826 adhesives is due in part to the low internal stresses inherent in cured epoxy resins. Such adhesives are used to bond a broad range of substrates.

EPON liquid epoxy resins when properly formulated and cured provide an inert end-product with a unique combination of properties. They are suitable for use in high performance applications such as coatings, adhesives, civil engineering, electronic and electrical insulation, composites and fiber sizing. Cured EPON resins are generally regarded as being high strength materials, since many commonly used systems provide tensile strengths greater than 10,000 psi and modulus values greater than 400,000 psi.
