RESION Flexible epoxy
At a glance
- Flexible but strong
- 30 min. processing time
- Transition joints, moulds etc.
Flexible epoxy is an epoxy system for applications that require a flexible but strong product. For example, flexible epoxy is ideal for flexible expansion joints in concrete floors, flexible moolds and the undersides of car spoilers and car bumpers. In addition, flexible epoxy is often used to fill expansion joints in concrete floors. This is much cheaper and easier to apply than traditional sealant methods.
RESION's flexible epoxy is easy to pour and laminate and can also be mixed with other epoxy systems for a more flexible result. In addition, this epoxy is suitable as an additive to make other resins more flexible.
Benefits of flexible epoxy
- Internally flexibilised epoxy resin.
- Contains no external plasticisers.
- Easy to use.

Working time is the period during which a product remains workable after mixing or activation, usually given in minutes at a specified temperature, often 20 °C. With reactive resins, the chemical reaction also continues in the mixing container, and larger quantities or higher temperatures can shorten this time. Working time is different from gel time and full curing time.
- Circa 30 minutes
-
Heat resistance describes the temperature a material can withstand after correct processing and curing, usually expressed in degrees Celsius (°C). Continuous exposure is different from a brief temperature peak, and mechanical loading may also affect the limit. Heat resistance is not the same as the temperature at which the product can be applied.
- Up to 50 degrees celcius
-
UV stabilisation helps a material better withstand the effects of sunlight, including yellowing and deterioration of its properties. It slows ageing but does not make a resin or plastic completely resistant to UV exposure. The degree of protection varies by product.
- No

The tasks a product is intended for, such as laminating, casting, bonding, sealing or protecting. Products intended for the same application can differ considerably in processing, curing time and final properties.
- Coating, Casting, Laminate

Mixing ratio indicates how much of each component is needed, for example resin (A) and hardener (B). A ratio of 100:50 by weight means 100 grams of A to 50 grams of B; by volume you might use millilitres. Weight and volume ratios are not necessarily the same because the components may have different densities. Accurate measuring is important for proper curing.
- 100:38 (by weight)
-
Hardness describes a material's resistance to indentation. For silicone rubber and other elastomers, the Shore A scale is commonly used: Shore A 15, for example, is softer than Shore A 40. Harder plastics may be rated on the Shore D scale. The number belongs to its Shore scale and is not a unit like MPa; values on different scales cannot be directly compared.
- Shore A 65
-
The period for which an unopened product remains usable under the specified storage conditions. Check whether the period starts from the manufacturing date or another date. Shelf life may be shorter after opening, especially for products sensitive to air or moisture.
- 12 months
-
Curing time is the period a product needs to reach a specified stage of cure. It is usually given in hours or days, often at a reference temperature such as 20 °C. A product may be tack-free or safe to handle before reaching its full mechanical and chemical resistance. Film thickness and mixed quantity may also affect the time.
- Approximately 1 day

Viscosity measures how easily a liquid flows, or how thick it is. Dynamic viscosity is usually expressed in mPa·s (millipascal-seconds), sometimes in cP (centipoise); 1 mPa·s = 1 cP. A lower value usually means a more free-flowing liquid, while a higher value indicates a thicker product. Temperature and test method strongly affect the value. Note that mPa·s is different from MPa, which is used to express mechanical strength.
- Low (approximately 300-700 mPa·s)
