Overview
jER™ YX4000 is a bisphenol-type solid epoxy resin made from the reaction of epichlorohydrin and tetramethyl bisphenol. It has a significantly low melt viscosity, low water absorption, and good adhesive and rigidity balance against stress, making it appropriate for applications such as electrical and electronic, thin-package EMC, potting and encapsulation materials, powder coatings for ship bottoms, adhesives, and composites. It also exhibits excellent abrasion, good adhesion, and heat, wear, water, and electrical resistance. This resin is supplied in flake form.
