NIKANOL-Y series: Unique non-Reactive Diluent
|
NIKANOL, xylene-formaldehyde resins, is a light-colored low-viscous liquid oligomer with an average molecular weight of 250-700. NIKANOL has been used in a variety of applications, like alkyd resins, unsaturated polyester resins, phenolic resins and so on. Among many grades, NIKANOL-Y series were special grades developed as a non-reactive diluent in epoxy resins.
NIKANOL-Y series are low viscosity and high oxygen content resins which have good compatibility with epoxy resins and hardeners.
