MR. JO JX 7002 – Flexible, Non-Yellowing Reactive Diluent for Epoxy Systems
MR. JO JX 7002 – Flexible, Non-Yellowing Reactive Diluent for Epoxy Systems
When epoxy systems need better workability, flexibility, and reduced brittleness, reactive diluents play a crucial role. JX 7002 is a mono-functional aliphatic reactive diluent (C12–C14) designed to improve flow and handling without compromising performance. Comparable to widely used grades such as RD108, it offers formulators a dependable choice for a broad range of epoxy applications.
🔹 Technical Data Highlights
- Chemistry: Mono-functional aliphatic reactive diluent (C12–C14)
- Epoxy Equivalent Weight (EEW): 275–300 g/eq
- Viscosity (@ 25 °C): 5–10 mPa·s
- Color (Gardner): ≤ 0.5
- Density (@ 25 °C): 0.90–1.0 g/cc
🔹 Performance Benefits
✅ High dilution efficiency – lowers viscosity effectively, enabling easier mixing and application.
✅Flexibility & toughness – reduces brittleness in cured systems.
✅Excellent wetting – helps improve filler and pigment dispersion.
✅Non-yellowing – maintains clarity in coatings and adhesives.
✅Low odour – improves handling and user comfort.
Applications
- Epoxy coatings – improves application flow, flexibility, and gloss retention.
- Adhesives & sealants – enhances wetting and impact resistance while reducing brittleness.
- Flooring & grouts – provides better workability and reduces cracking tendency.
- Composites & laminates – facilitates easy impregnation of fibers and uniform curing.
🔹 Comparison Note
JX 7002 is chemically similar to Aditya Birla RD108 and other C12–C14 mono-functional reactive diluents. Its low color and non-yellowing behavior make it especially suitable for light-colored or decorative epoxy systems where aesthetics matter.
🔹 Usage Tips
- Recommended PHR range: 5–20% on epoxy resin, depending on viscosity reduction needs.
- Best suited where flexibility and wetting are desired.
- Avoid excessive levels (>25%), as they may reduce hardness and chemical resistance.
- Compatible with most bisphenol-A resins and standard cycloaliphatic / polyetheramine hardeners.
🔹 Closing
Whether you are formulating an industrial coating, structural adhesive, or epoxy flooring, JX 7002 helps strike the right balance between processing ease and end-use performance. With its low viscosity, high dilution efficiency, and non-yellowing nature, it is a reliable choice for formulators aiming to improve epoxy system performance without compromising quality.
