The effect of an EA-grade low-viscosity thinner and of temperature on the rheokinetic properties of an epoxy oligomer of grade UP-610 cured with a Benzam-ABA amine curing agent was investigated. It was established that, when thinner is introduced and the temperature is varied, the lifetime of EFA-B epoxy binder can vary from 25 min to 26 h.
