Taiwan South Asia Epoxy Resin NPES-904
South Asia NPES-904 is a bisphenol A type medium molecular weight solid epoxy resin produced by South Asia Plastics in Taiwan, mainly used in powder coatings and epoxy coating systems. The core technical parameters are as follows:
Core physical and chemical indicators
Appearance: White to slightly yellow solid particles or flakes
Epoxy Equivalent (EEW): 780-850 g/eq (some data indicate 800-900 g/eq)
Softening point (R&B): 96-107 ℃
Melt viscosity (150 ℃): 4500-8000 mPa · s (cps)
Chromaticity (Gardner): ≤ 1.0 max
Solid content: 100%
CAS number: 61788-97-4
Performance characteristics and applications
Due to its moderate molecular weight, this resin can provide high gloss, excellent elasticity, and smoothness when used in powder coating formulations in combination with melamine, leveling agents, and other curing conditions at 200 ℃ and above. Compared to low molecular weight epoxides such as 901/902, their higher molecular weight endows the coating with better impact strength and glass transition temperature (Tg).
