Nonyl Phenol is a common chemical additive in almost all epoxies. It has both good and bad properties.

Nonyl Phenol is a common chemical additive in almost all epoxies. It has both good and bad properties.
Good Properties:
* used to adjust the mix ratio of part A and part B to whole numbers
* can add useful properties to epoxies with additives/thickeners (we had an epoxy paste that become a crumbling mess when we attempted to remove the nonyl from the formulation)
* used as a thinner with thicker epoxy resins
* useful as a low cost accelerator/catalyst for epoxy curing
Bad Properties:
*
can be used as a way to cheaply 'water down' the epoxy to increase profits
(the major problem and a clue to CHEAP epoxy!!!)
* probably slightly reduces the epoxies physical properties
* reclassified as a 'hazmat' ingredient around 2009, meaning most epoxies require hazmat or ORM-D shipping
* nonyl-phenol has potential health risks
* appears to sometimes retard the drying of alkyd (oil based) enamels applied over epoxies containing nonyl phenol (often to unacceptable levels) in high humidity/dew point conditions - see following link:
---------- lots more info on the nonyl vs. enamel paint issues / recommendations (or why won't my paint dry?)
Properties of Epoxies without Nonyl Phenol:
* more likely to be non-hazmat to ship (other factors/ingredients also come into play)
* probably slightly better epoxy physical properties
* part B (the curing agent) more likely to be dark amber colored instead of clear or slightly amber
* traditional alkyd (oil based) enamel paints dry without problem over these epoxies
Does it contain Nonyl Phenol?
Check the MSDS sheet for parts A and B of your epoxy. You have a legal right to see the MSDS document. If the vendor/store
resists your request, find a different vendor or store.

7199 SUPERIOR NON-PHONYL FREE FORUMULATION |
Dear Sir, We applied the Industrial Floor Epoxy in our work trailer yesterday, and I swept off the excess sand today. We are very pleased with the results.
None of us had any particular experience with this kind of application, but we followed the instructions, had a fairly cool morning to do the work, and managed to complete the application in about 90 minutes, dividing the work and mixing epoxy in three sections. I would recommend this material to friends looking to do similar work. Thank you for your assistance, the all-purpose sand was quite adequate for our needs.
