Description

Jpoxy JR 5838 is a thick, strong glue made from phenol novolac. You can use it as it is, or mix it with other glues to make it easier to work with. Also, it sticks well to many materials and is perfect for tough jobs where you need a strong bond. Additionally,  this glue is great for industrial use and can handle heavy-duty tasks.

Q1. What is JR 5838?

A1. JR 5838 is a high-viscosity multifunctional epoxy resin based on phenol novolac chemistry, offering high crosslink density, excellent heat resistance, and chemical durability. It is equivalent to EPN-type novolacs like YDPN-638 and EPN-1138.

Q2. What are the key technical specifications?

A2. 

  • Epoxy Equivalent Weight (EEW): 175–182 g/eq
  • Viscosity @ 52°C: 20,000–50,000 mPa·s
  • Color (Gardner): ≤1
  • Density @ 25°C: 1.15–1.20 g/cc
  • Appearance: High-viscosity amber liquid
Q3. What are the advantages of novolac-based epoxy resins like JR 5838?

A3. 

  • Higher thermal stability due to dense aromatic structure
  • Superior chemical resistance to acids, alkalis, and solvents
  • Better dimensional stability under stress
  • Higher crosslink density for structural integrity and mechanical performance
Q4. Where is JR 5838 commonly used?

A4. 

  • Paints and protective coatings requiring chemical and thermal resistance
  • Structural adhesives for composites and metal bonding
  • Electrical encapsulants and tooling systems
  • High-performance flooring or tank-lining applications
Q5. Which hardeners are suitable for curing JR 5838?

A5. 

  • Cycloaliphatic amines and anhydrides for heat-resistant coatings
  • Polyamines or polyamidoamines for room-temperature cure adhesives
  • Custom hardener blends to balance pot life and cure performance
Q6. Is JR 5838 compatible with fillers and modifiers?

A6. Yes. JR 5838 can be formulated with silica, alumina, and glass fillers, and reactive diluents may be added to adjust viscosity without compromising performance significantly.

Q7. What makes JR 5838 ideal for high-performance applications?

A7. Its multi-functional structure allows tight crosslinking, giving the cured resin exceptional chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and long-term durability in aggressive environments.

Q8. How is JR 5838 different from standard BPA-based epoxy resins?

A8. Unlike standard Bisphenol-A resins (e.g., JR 3000), JR 5838 has:

  • More reactive epoxy groups per molecule
  • Much higher crosslinking potential
  • Better heat and solvent resistance
  • Higher viscosity
Q9. What is the recommended storage and shelf life?

A9. Store in sealed containers at room temperature. JR 5838 has a shelf life of 12 months from the date of manufacture under proper storage conditions.

Q10. What are the available pack sizes?

A10. Standard packaging options include 5 kg, 10 kg, and 30 kg containers. Custom sizes are available for industrial users on request.
