1 Technical Data Sheet Most recent revision date: April 2008 EPIKOTE Resin 828LVEL Product Description EPIKOTE Resin 828LVEL is a medium viscosity liquid epoxy resin produced from bisphenol A resin and epichlorohydrin and contains no diluent. Its viscosity range is intermediate between that of EPIKOTE 827 and EPIKOTE 828EL. The principal feature of this resin is its low hydrolysable chlorine content. EPIKOTE 828LVEL provides good pigment wetting and good resistance to filler settling and a high level of mechanical and chemical resistance properties in cured state. However, as an unmodified pure bisphenol A resin, EPIKOTE 828LVEL is prone to crystallise on storage, particularly in cold conditions (see bulletin EK for a description of the laboratory test method used to determine the crystallisation tendency of EPIKOTE resins). Note, EPIKOTE 827, 828EL and 828 LVEL are unmodified resins of similar type and performance; they offer the formulator a choice of viscosity. Application Areas/Suggested Uses Electrical and electronic industries (potting, casting, encapsulating, impregnating) which require a resin with a low hydrolysable chlorine content. Suitable for advancement to solid resins e.g. brominated grades used in the production of printed wiring board. Building and civil engineering industries (floorings, adhesives, mortars, grouts). Filament winding for composites. Solvent free and high-solids coatings. Benefits Low hydrolysable chlorine Medium viscosity Suitable for resin advancement Good pigment wetting Imparts high mechanical performance Imparts good chemical resistance Sales Specification HCD-4368 (Rev. 8/12/2011 8:54:17 AM) Page 1 of 3

Safety, Storage & Handling Please refer to the MSDS for the most current Safety and Handling information. EPIKOTE Resin 828LVEL should be stored at room temperature in conditions such that moisture is excluded, in the original containers kept tightly closed. Under these conditions the shelf life should be a minimum of three years from date of certification. If EPIKOTE 828LVEL develops haziness or crystallises on storage. The resin can be restored to its original condition by warming to C, with stirring. HCD-4368 (Rev. 8/12/2011 8:54:17 AM) Page 2 of 3
