MR. JO JR 5838 – High-Functionality Novolac Epoxy Resin for Extreme Performance
When applications demand superior chemical resistance, heat resistance, and mechanical durability, standard epoxy resins often fall short. That’s where JR 5838, a highly functional epoxy novolac resin, steps in.
Engineered for tough industrial environments, JR 5838 is structurally distinct from standard bisphenol-A epoxy resins. With multiple epoxy functionalities per molecule, it delivers dense cross-linking upon curing—translating into unmatched strength, resistance, and longevity.
It is comparable to Araldite EPN 1138, Aditya Birla YDPN 638, and Kukdo YDPN 638, giving users a globally recognized performance benchmark.
Technical Profile
- Epoxy Equivalent Weight (EEW): 175 – 182 g/eq
- Viscosity @ 25°C: 20,000 – 50,000 mPa·s @ 52°C
- Color (Gardner): ≤ 1
- Density @ 25°C: 1.15 – 1.20 g/cc
This combination of low EEW and high functionality means JR 5838 forms rigid, highly crosslinked networks ideal for extreme-duty coatings and adhesives.
Key Features & Advantages
- High functionality (multi-epoxy groups) → superior crosslink density.
- Excellent chemical resistance → withstands solvents, acids, and corrosive agents.
- Outstanding thermal stability → maintains integrity under high temperatures.
- Superior mechanical performance → strength and adhesion for structural-grade applications.
- Trusted global equivalence → proven substitutes to leading novolac epoxies.
