Q&A
Question & Answer- How is the stability of the aqueous solution of the water-soluble grade?
-
Since epoxy groups react with water, hydrolysis occurs gradually.
When using it as a curing agent for waterborne resins, we recommend a two-component system.
Please refer to here the epoxy degradation rate in aqueous solution.
- What is the solubility of the water-soluble grade in organic solvents?
-
Soluble in water as well as many organic solvents, so it can be used in both water- and solvent-based systems.
- What is the method for calculating solubility in water?
-
The solubility rate of DENACOL when mixed with water in a 1:9 ratio.
- How is the stability of the product?
-
Most grades can be stored at room temperature.
- Is it a single substance?
-
Except for some grades, products in the DENACOL series are mixtures containing by-products generated through reactions.
Since the by-products also contain epoxy groups, they have reactivity.
Please refer to this for examples of the by-products.
