Look to Versamid®' Epoxy Resins from General Mills for Improved Properties i n Thermosetting Systems When epoxy resins are co-reacted with Versamid® polyamide resins from General Mills, the result is copolymers with outstand ing physical properties.
A d h e s i o n . Bond tenaciously metals, wood, glass, leather, ceramics and plastics. C h e m i c a l R e s i s t a n c e . Withstand water, oil, grease, solvents, chemicals. A b r a s i o n R e s i s t a n c e . Hard and tough, resist mechanical erosion. F l e x i b i l i t y . Retain adhesion and cohesion under impact and bending. E l e c t r i c a l Q u a l i t i e s . Demonstrate high diaelectric strength along with other good electrical properties. P h y s i c a l Q u a l i t i e s . Possess good machineability, low shrinkage, high dimensional stability. Versamid resins from General Mills offer many advantages as co-reacta n t s for epoxy resins. Versamid resins can be reacted with epoxy resins at room or elevated tempera tures. And Versamid resins are non toxic—easy t o formulate and use.
Versamid-Epoxy systems have already improved many industrial products including protective and decorative coatings, adhesives, con crete patching and topping com pounds, laminates, pottings and castings.
