EPON 1031

EPON™ Resin 1031 is a solid, novolac-free multifunctional epoxy resin. It is most frequently used to improve the properties of cured epoxy resin systems particularly at elevated temperatures. It finds applications in electrical laminates, high performance aerospace composites and adhesives, powder coatings, and molding compounds. The use of EPON Resin 1031 in epoxy formulations increases the crosslink density of cured systems and, subsequently, raises the glass transition temperature. At elevated temperatures, such systems have greater strength and rigidity and show improved moisture resistance and retention of electrical properties. EPON Resin 1031 also provides the fluorescence and UV blocking properties often required for printed wiring board applications.
