Resource - Epoxy resin

Description

Epoxy resin is a thermoset polymer formed by the polymerization of epichlorohydrin and bisphenol-A. It is renowned for its high adhesive strength, excellent chemical and heat resistance, electrical insulation properties, and superior durability for Mining, Civil, Composites, Electrical and Adhesives applications. Epoxy is widely used in structural adhesives, fiber-reinforced plastics, industrial coatings, aerospace and marine applications, and as a protective coating for floors, countertops, and storage tanks. It is also preferred for repairs due to its ability to bond with both epoxy and polyester surfaces. Epoxy generally has a longer curing time than polyester, allowing more working time, and emits fewer, lower-risk fumes during use. However, it is more expensive than polyester resin.
