Reactive Diluents

In addition to the monofunctional epoxies described under resins, products with active hydrogens, such as furfuryl alcohol, coal tars, or phenols, will react with the epoxy resins

to form part of the cured structure. Triphenyl phosphite both reacts and accelerates. Lactams also react with the hardeners. Since all these products tend to degrade the performance of the cured product, it is preferable to use difunctional low-viscosity epoxies to reduce viscosity. Where applicable, functionality of reactive diluents must be allowed for when calculating ratios.
