Product - JPOXY JX 7002

Description

JPOXY JX 7002 is a low-viscosity diluent. It works well with epoxy coatings, adhesives, and other systems. Thanks to its easy flow, it mixes and applies quickly. In addition, it reduces brittleness and increases flexibility. As a result, the coating becomes stronger and more reliable.

• EEW [g/eq] : 275-300
• Viscosity [mPa s] @ 25˚C : 5-10
• Color [Gardner] : ≤0.5
• Density @ 25˚C [g/cc] : 0.90 – 1.0

• Can reduce brittleness
• High dilution efficiency
• Non yellowing
• Excellent wetting
• Low odour

• Mono functional aliphatic reactive diluent
• C12-C14

A1. JX 7002 is a mono-functional aliphatic reactive diluent, chemically based on C12–C14 alkyl glycidyl ether. It is designed to reduce the viscosity of epoxy resins while enhancing flexibility and wetting.

A2. 

• Low viscosity (5–10 mPa·s) for easy blending and improved application
• Non-yellowing – maintains clarity and color stability
• Excellent dilution efficiency – lowers system viscosity with minimal addition
• Improves flexibility and reduces brittleness in cured films
• Good wetting and substrate penetration
• Low odor and low volatility

A3. It is suitable for:

• Epoxy coatings and primers
• Adhesives and sealants
• Self-leveling floors and trowel-applied systems
• Putty, mortars, and composites
• Any epoxy system needing improved workability and flexibility

A4. Typically 5–15 phr (parts per hundred resin), depending on the system. Higher levels can be used where more flexibility or flow is needed, but may affect hardness and chemical resistance.

A5. 

• Without JX 7002: Higher viscosity, higher brittleness, slower flow
• With JX 7002: Lower viscosity, smoother flow, better impact resistance, and less shrinkage

A6. Yes. Its Gardner color ≤0.5 ensures optical clarity and minimal yellowing, making it ideal for clear coatings or pigmented systems where color stability matters.

A7. It is reactive – the epoxide group participates in the curing reaction, becoming part of the final polymer network. It does not evaporate like a solvent.

A8. It is compatible with most Bisphenol A and F epoxy resins, like JR 3013 and JR 3000, and can be used in systems cured with polyamines, polyamides, or cycloaliphatic amines.

A9. Functionally similar to commercial products like RD108 or DY-E, it offers a balance of flow, flexibility, and clarity.

A10.  Like most mono-functional diluents, adding too much can lower hardness or chemical resistance. However, at optimal levels, it enhances flexibility without major compromise in performance.
