INCHEMREZ NOTES

Caprolactone-modified Phenoxy resins have pendant branches with terminal primary hydroxyls resulting from random grafting of e-caprolactone monomer onto the Phenoxy backbone. The esterification also results in lower glass transition temperatures and lower product viscosities. (See page 12)

18 Composites Selection Guide

InChemRez Phenoxy resins have specific uses in composites applica- tions both in fiber sizing and in matrix resin compostions. Phenoxy resins Solventborne have excellent adhesion to glass and carbon fibers. Phenoxy sizings enable exellent compatibilty with epoxy-based Water-borne matrix resins, and with viny ester based resins. High solids Because of the pendant backbone hy- droxyls, Phenoxy can be thermoset with select crosslinkers to provide maxi- mum strength, heat resistance, and chemical resistance. Phenoxy can also be formulated into epoxy and urethane based composite formulations to provide toughness and adhesion to the reinforcement.

The amorphous nature of ture or oxygen is required. Phenoxy resin can also be helpful in controlling the crystallization kinetics of thermoplastic materials.

22 Viscosity/solids relationships for standard grades of Phenoxy resins in common solvents and solvent mixtures are shown on pages 23-25. On page 26 a list of common solvents and diluents for standard Phenoxy resin is tabulated. Where noted, the solubility of Phenoxy resins may be limited, es- pecially in situations where the solvent is in high excess (low solids region). For example, with methyl ethyl ketone, phase out will occur with Phenoxy resin (PKHH, PKHB) below about 22% solids. Interestingly, the phase out can be rectified with a small addition of water (about 1%).
