Applicable Base Polymer Properties
Epoxy adhesives are generally more resistant to a wide variety of liquid environments than other structural adhesives. However, they are generally considered to be very rigid systems, and as such they do not have exceptionally good impact or peel resistance unless modified with tougheners.
Hypro 1300X13 CTBN is a carboxyl terminated butadiene acrylonitrile copolymer used predominately as a reactant with the base thermoses resin to gain product performance improvements. These resultant pre-reacts (adducts) can be incorporated at various levels to suit the needs of the specific formulation.
