The add additi ition on of har harden deners ers in the pro proper per pro propor portio tions ns causes these resins to polymerize into infusible products. The properties of these products can be modified by the addition of various fillers, reinforcement reinforcements, s, extenders, plasticizers, thixotropic agents, etc. The epoxy resins described also can be used as stabilizers and cross-linking agents; and they can be combined with other reactive products. 1.2 It is not the fun functi ction on of thi thiss spe specifi cificat cation ion to pro provid videe engineering data or to guide the purchaser in the selection of a material for a specific end use.

Type VI —Reaction 4.1.6 Type —Reaction produ product ct of epic epichloro hlorohydri hydrin n and glyoxal tetraphenol. 4.2 These types may be furt further her subdivided subdivided by grad grades: es: 4.2.1 Grade 1— Resins containing no diluent. 4.2.2 Grade 2— Resins modified with a reactive diluent. Each class of Grade 2 resin can be made from any class of Grade 1 resin. 4.2.3 Each grade grade may include as many classes classes as are shown in the tables.

5. Requirements 5.1 The resin shall be of uniform quality and as free of contamination as can be achieved by good manufacturing practice. 5.2 The resin shall conform to the requirements prescribed in Tables 1-7 for the type, grade, and class of material specified. 6. Sampling 6.1 Take a representative sample sufficient for the test specified either from a well-blended bulk lot prior to packaging or by withdrawing samples with a thief from no less than 5 % of the containers comprising the lot or shipment. 6.2 Unless the samples taken from the containers show evidence of variability, blend them into a single composite sample on which to conduct the specified tests. Instead of the foregoing, adequate statistical sampling acceptable to the purchaser and the seller may be substituted.

D 1763 SUMMARY OF CHANGES This section identifies the location of selected changes to this Specification. For the convenience of the user, Committee D20 has highlighted those changes that may impact the use of this Specification. This section may also include descriptions of the changes or reasons for the changes, or both. D 1763–00: (1) Added 1.4 on SI units to Scope. (2) Deleted reference to D 1898, as it was discontinued without replacement. (4) Added D 1209 as color test method for low color, Types I and III resins.
(5) Deleted Durran’s softening point due to health hazards. (6 ) Added D 3104, Test Method for Softening Point of Pitches (Mettler Softening Point Method).
