LAPOX® ARF-11
Technical Data Sheet | Polymers Business
Description Lapox® ARF-11 is an unmodified diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-F (DGEBF). The specific
advantages of this product over diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) resins are
relatively low viscosity at lower temperatures and better chemical resistance. It can be
blended with Lapox® B-11 (DGEBA type) to prevent crystallisation at a low temperature.
