Technical Data Sheet

EPON™ Resin 828

Product Description
EPON™ Resin 828 is an undiluted clear difunctional bisphenol A/epichlorohydrin derived liquid epoxy resin. When cross-linked or hardened with
appropriate curing agents, very good mechanical, adhesive, dielectric and chemical resistance properties are obtained. Because of this versatility,
EPON Resin 828 has become a standard epoxy resin used in formulation, fabrication and fusion technology.

Benefits
Fiber reinforced pipes, tanks and composites
Tooling, casting and molding compounds
Construction, electrical and aerospace adhesives
High solids/low VOC maintenance and marine coatings
Electrical encapsulations and laminates
Chemical resistant tank linings, flooring and grouts
Base resin for epoxy fusion technology

Processing/How to use
General Information
The low viscosity and cure properties of EPON Resin 828 allow its use under various application and fabrication techniques including:
Spraying and brushing
Filament winding
Pressure laminating
Vacuum bag laminating
Pultrusion
Casting
Molding
Toweling

Curing Agents
EPON Resin 828 can be cured or cross-linked with a variety of curing agents depending on properties desired in the finished product and the
processing conditions employed. Some commonly used curing agents, recommended concentrations, typical cure schedules employed in major
end-use applications, plus sources for these curing agents are displayed in Table 1.

Performance Properties
Perfomance Characteristics of Cured EPON Resin 828
Mechanical Properties
High performance, high strength materials are obtained when this resin is cured with a variety of curing agents. Unfilled systems in common use
have tensile values greater than 10,000 psi (69 MPa) with modulus values greater than 400,000 psi (2750 MPa). Such systems are normally very
rigid. If greater flexibility is needed systems can be formulated to provide up to 300% elongation.
Adhesive Properties
One of the most widely recognized properties of cured EPON Resin 828 is strong adhesion to a broad range of substrates. Such systems exhibit
shear strength of up to 6,000 psi (41 Mpa). One factor which contributes to this property is the low shrinkage shown by these systems during cure.
Compared to other polymers, epoxy resins have low internal stresses resulting in strong and durable finished products.
Electrical Properties
EPON Resin 828 cured systems have very good electrical insulating characteristics and dielectric properties. For example, systems can be
obtained with anhydride and amine curing agents having volume resistivities up to 1 x 10E16 ohm-cm, dielectric constants of 3-5 and dissipation
factors of 0.002 to 0.020 at ambient conditions. Electrical encapsulations, laminates and molding compounds are frequently based on EPON
Resin 828.
Chemical Resistance
Cured EPON Resin 828 is highly resistant to a broad range of chemicals, including caustic, acids, fuels and solvents. Chemically resistant
reinforced structures and linings or coatings over metal can be formulated with EPON Resin 828.
Formulating Techniques
The primary components of a thermosetting resin formula are the epoxy resin and the hardener or curing agent. However, in practice other
materials are normally incorporated to achieve special properties. For example, inert fillers such as silicas, talcs, calcium silicates, micas, clays
and calcium carbonate can be added to further reduce shrinkage and improve dimensional stability. Also, reactive diluents can be added to EPON
Resin 828 to reduce viscosity. The effect on viscosity by adding such materials is shown in Figure 1.

Please refer to the Hexion web site for Shelf Life and recommended Storage information.
EPON Resin 828 is an undiluted liquid epoxy resin that is available in tank cars, tank trucks and 500 pound net closed head drums. EPON Resin
828 is normally shipped in bulk from 150 °F (66 °C) to 180 °F (82 °C) and can be stored at 120-140 °F (49-60 °C) for ease of handling. The
viscosity/temperature profile and the specific gravity/temperature profile for EPON Resin 828 are displayed in Figures 2 and 3 respectively for your
guidance.
NOTE OF CAUTION: When checking viscosity of EPON Resin 828 incoming samples, we caution you to make certain that the product is maintained
at 25 +/- 0.01 °C before testing. You will note in Figure 4 that EPON Resin 828 can vary in viscosity by 10-15 poise for each degree in temperature
the product varies from 25 °C.
Exposure to these materials should be minimized and avoided, if feasible, through the observance of proper precautions, use of appropriate
engineering controls and proper personal protective clothing and equipment, and adherence to proper handling procedures. None of these
materials should be used, stored, or transported until the handling precautions and recommendations as stated in the Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) for these and all other products being used are understood by all persons who will work with them. Questions and requests for
information on Hexion Inc. ("Hexion") products should be directed to your Hexion sales representative, or the nearest Hexion sales office.
Information and MSDSs on non-Hexion products should be obtained from the respective manufacturer.

Packaging
Available in bulk and drum quantities.
