PRODUCT DATA SUGGESTED USES AND PROCESSING
Determined per batch: BECKOPOX VEH 2188w is used together with solid epoxy resin
dispersions or emulsified liquid resins. When used with solid resin
Dynamic Viscosity DIN EN ISO 3219 dispersions coatings for metallic substrates can be formulated with
dynamic viscosity [mPa.s] 6000 - 14000 excellent performance in humidity chamber and salt spray tests. It has
(10 1/s; 23 °C) been shown that best results are obtained using 70 - 80 % of the
stoichiometric amount of hardener. The films cure rapidly at room
Amine Value (Reaction Resins) DIN 16945 / 5.6 temperature but can also be dried at elevated temperatures.
amine value [mg KOH/g] 130 - 140
(form of deliver; propylene carbonate / acetic acid 4:1) Grinding of the pigments should be done in shear stable epoxy
dispersions (e. g.: BECKOPOX EP 384w, BECKOPOX VEP 2381w/2382w)
Iodine Colour Number DIN 6162 because wetting properties of the hardener are not very good due to the
iodine colour number <= 25 hydrophobic backbone of the polymer and the absence of free basic
amines. The mill base temperature should be as low as possible and
Not continually determined: should not exceed 40 °C at maximum. Also the use of binder-free
pigment pastes is possible.
Density (Liquids) DIN EN ISO 2811-2 It is essential to apply the paint within the time stated for its pot-life
density [g/cm ] 3
1,08 because the end of the pot-life cannot be detected by an increase of

A blend of:
100.0 g BECKOPOX EP 384w/53WAMP
39.0 g BECKOPOX VEH 2188w/55WA
7.0 g Deionized water
(= 100 % of the stoichiometric amount of hardener) has a processing
time of approx. 90 - 120 minutes at 23 °C. The end of pot life cannot be
seen by an increase of viscosity or gelation. Therefeore it is necessary to
use the paint within the stated time limit.
