Reactive Diluent RD 103

What is EPOTEC RD 103?
 
EPOTEC RD 103 is a low-viscosity, aliphatic di-epoxide reactive diluent, developed by Grasim Industries (EPOTEC). Based on 1,4-butanediol, it is specifically formulated to reduce the viscosity of high-performance epoxy resins, making it ideal for a wide range of industrial and engineering applications.

With excellent compatibility across all common epoxy resins and in all concentrations, EPOTEC RD 103 enables enhanced processability and superior formulation performance. Its di-functional structure helps improve toughness and maintain chemical resistance in the final cured systems.
