Reduces Viscosity and VOC Emissions

Monday, 14 April, 2025

Seeking to reduce the viscosity of your epoxy formulations without compromising on performance or environmental responsibility? At Comindex, we offer the optimal solution: EPOTEC reactive diluents. These additives are specifically designed to adjust viscosity, improve processability, and support formulation stability.

EPOTEC Reactive Diluents Applications and Strengths

EPOTEC reactive diluents, produced by Aditya Birla Chemicals, are engineered for compatibility with various industrial sectors, ranging from anti-corrosion coatings in automotive systems to structural applications in civil engineering, including bridges and large-scale infrastructure projects. In addition to viscosity control, the incorporation of EPOTEC diluents contributes to performance improvements in epoxy systems, including:

  • Flexibility: Enhances the resin system's ability to accommodate mechanical and thermal stress, making it suitable for sealing and protective coating applications.
  • Impact strength: Increases resistance to mechanical shock, ensuring greater durability for use in electronics and heavy-duty equipment.
  • Adherence: Promotes stronger interfacial bonding across diverse substrates, a critical parameter in furniture manufacturing and structural assembly.
  • Solvent Resistance: Strengthens long-term performance in aggressive environments, such as chemical processing or pharmaceutical facilities.
  • Filler Incorporation: Enables higher loadings of functional or reinforcing materials without affecting rheological properties, benefiting the production of advanced composite materials.

Why Formulate Epoxy Resins with Reactive Diluents

Effective viscosity management is essential for achieving optimal application and curing behaviour. In formulations requiring reduced viscosity, such as 100% solids systems or high-filler compositions, EPOTEC reactive diluents provide a robust solution. Moreover, these diluents are free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), aligning with sustainability objectives by reducing environmental impact and supporting responsible manufacturing processes.

At Comindex, we help you identify the most suitable epoxy resin and reactive diluent combination to meet the specific technical requirements of your formulation.
