Description
®
Lapox ARD-13 is a low viscosity, long chain aliphatic mono epoxide reactive diluent based on C12-
C14 alcohol. ARD-13 is compatible with all types of epoxy resin in any proportion Resins diluted with
ARD-13 can be suitably cured by epoxy curing agents for variety of applications. Higher proportion
of ARD-13 imparts flexibility in cured system and hence affects glass transition temperature
significantly.
Advantages
Reduces viscosity efficiently
Improves wetting and process ability
Relatively low health risk due to its low vapor pressure
Provides very good flexibility
Low surface tension and good leveling
High resistance to solvents and ammonia
Applications
Civil engineering and flooring
Structural adhesives
Decorative gravel surfaces/Structures
FRP Composites
Electronic encapsulation
Potting and tooling
