Introduction
Qualifying a resin system that offers the best balance of performance and processability can be a significant task. You not only need quality products from a reliable supplier; you need a company that is willing to share its extensive technical expertise and provide services that will help satisfy your unique requirements. Thats where we come in. Were Resolution Performance Products LLC (RPP), one of the leading suppliers of epoxy resins, curing agents, modifiers, and resin systems. We offer a diverse line of epoxy resins that vary in chemical structure, molecular weight, viscosity and functionality providing the formulator with a multitude of options. Whats more, our products have over 50 years of innovation and success in a variety of markets and end-use applications. At our world-class technology centers in Houston, Texas, and Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, we pursue advanced processing technologies while creating new resin products and systems with broad performance ranges. By continually working on technical challenges in our application laboratories, we are able to translate real application requirements into high quality, production-oriented materials. EPON Resins and Modifiers offer advantages such as: Low room temperature viscosity Very long working life Low moisture absorption Good epoxy performance characteristics Flexibility Reactivity High elongation Adjustable cure times Good chemical and corrosion resistance Heat resistance Fire retardance Compliance with MIL-R-9300B specifications (in some resin systems)

At A Glance
EPON Resins This family of resins was developed to provide superior overall performance in a variety of end-use applications. These products enable manufacturers to achieve practically any desired performance level, while optimizing processability and strength retention at elevated temperatures. Liquid EPON Resins and Resin Blends (see page 5-6) This segment of our product line represents the most widely used products in a number of industries. The most commonly used EPON Resin/HELOXY Modifier blends are available in several types and viscosity grades. Epoxy Acrylate EPON Resins (see page 7) These products offer excellent wetting characteristics with rapid reaction rates. Brominated EPON Resins (see page 8) These products can be used to obtain fire retardance in a base epoxy resin formulation. Semi-Solid and Solid EPON Resins (see page 9) Both of these product groups have a higher molecular weight, providing the ability to vary the viscosity, flexibility and reactivity of a system. Powder Grade Solid EPON Resins (see page 10-11) These epoxy resins are in the molecular weight range most suitable for use in powder coating applications. These products have a good balance of properties, including appropriate epoxy functionality for proper curing, good physical stability (sintering resistance), and good melt flow (low melt viscosity). They are carefully filtered during manufacture to remove particulate contaminants. EPON Multi-Functional Epoxy Resins (see pages 12-13) These products are specifically designed to provide increased levels of thermal stability and chemical resistance, and are used in composites, structural adhesives, electronics/electrical, and coating applications. Elastomer Modified EPON Resins (see page 14) These products offer improved adhesive properties, thermal shock resistance and toughness, with good fatigue resistant properties. EPI-REZ Waterborne Epoxy Resins (see page 15-16) These non-ionic aqueous dispersions of our epoxy resins provide benefits such as low/zero VOCs, extended potlife, high crosslink density, high temperature performance, very good chemical resistance, B-stage capability, low color, and complete water-reducibility. Many of RPPs EPIKURE Curing Agents can be used with these epoxy dispersions. In addition, since dicyandiamide is water soluble, it may be used to provide extended potlife formulations.

HELOXY Modifiers (see page 17-18) HELOXY Monofunctional Modifiers are low viscosity epoxy functional modifiers that provide maximum viscosity reduction at the lowest cost. HELOXY Polyfunctional Modifiers are reactive modifiers that provide good viscosity reduction while maintaining very good physical performance in liquid epoxy resin systems. HELOXY Flexibilizers are reactive modifiers that provide good viscosity reduction while imparting flexibility to the epoxy resin system. All of our products are manufactured to high standards of quality and have very specific property ranges. To help you assess the many production and performance advantages of RPPs complete product line of resins and modifiers, weve coupled typical properties and resin characteristics in the technical charts which follow. The data contained in this brochure are intended to give only basic product information for quick reference individual product technical bulletins with additional information are available for many of the products listed in the following pages.
