When added to the epoxy system in the proper proportion, the cured epoxy will be softer and, in some cases, can be made semirigid. \u003cstrong\u003eFlexer™\u003c\/strong\u003e will lower the viscosity of the epoxy system, improves wetting capability (for laminating) and filler load capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMake Epoxy Semi-rigid\u003c\/strong\u003e - make pieces that are less brittle with increased impact resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoose Desired Result\u003c\/strong\u003e - Physical and performance properties of cured epoxy system may lower in proportion to the amount of added.
