Product Description

Epotec YD 909 High Molecular Weight Epoxy Resin by Grasim Industries

Looking for a high-performance epoxy resin for packaging and industrial coatings? Epotec YD 909, manufactured by Grasim Industries under the EPOTEC brand, is a high molecular weight, bisphenol-A based solid epoxy resin that delivers superior flexibility, chemical resistance, and hardness making it ideal for demanding coating applications.

What is Epotec YD 909?

Epotec YD 909 is a solid epoxy resin specifically designed for single-pack, baking-type coatings, such as epoxy-amino and epoxy-phenolic systems, commonly used in the packaging industry. Its unique formulation offers excellent flexibility, optimum resistance to food chemicals, and a high softening point, which imparts superior hardness and durability to the final coating.

Additionally, thanks to its high hydroxyl content, YD 909 can be used to develop ambient-curable, two-component (2K) systems when combined with polyisocyanates, expanding its versatility across industrial coating formulations.
