Epoxy (Epikote 827); Catalyst

Ok..thanks...but lets assume I am a not so familiar with all those data. Can someone just give me the amount of CARBON per kg or ton that is part of the Epoxy (Epicote and Hardener).

When I look at the molecular structure...I can count 18 * C (atomic weight 12.0107); 3 * O (weight 15.9994) and 16*H (16.12704).

So 216.192/280.3178 = 77.1241 % Carbon content in Epoxy...is that a good number???

This is not much of an answer to my question....

Hi Maqua though this writer is not able to compute exactly how much C Epikote 827 (presently a Dow material) contains, you may try to consider this:

The standard Liquid BisphenolA Epoxy has a mole wt of 340, and an equivalent weight of 170. On the basis of this we may compute that a Ton of such a standard liquid epoxy would have approximately 741.1764 Kg of Carbon.

Your query on Catalyst RP48 is not known unless we know what the base material is (mixed Ployamide/ Aliphatic Polyamine...etc)

Hope you get some idea of the Carbon value.

CURIOSITY: May this writer ask why you are interested in the Carbon content please?

Best wishes
