  • the data points for the PPAE resins show a complex non-linear correlation and do not fit the PAE linear correlation. Furthermore, the data points of the PPAE resins are all above the fitted line for the PAE resins, suggesting that a greater amount of epichlorohydrin is required to achieve the desired viscosity range compared to the PAE resins. Theoretically, the ratio of EPI mass over PA mass (y-axis) of the PPAE resins will become infinitely large when the ratio of PA mass over extra polyamine mass becomes infinitely small. Overall, these differences demonstrate that the molecular structure of the PPAE resins is fundamentally different from that of the PAE resins.
