Epoxy resin

Epoxy was formulated in the early 1930’s. Present day chemical engineering has moved into a more varied type of Epoxy and a huge number of additives and formulatory ingredients are available today. These include 1 part heat cure Epoxy, 1 part solvented Epoxy, flexiblised Epoxy systems, Epoxy putties, UL approved / flame retardant Epoxy systems, low viscosity, high temperature and thixotropic Epoxy systems.

Epoxy or polyepoxide is a thermosetting epoxide polymer that cures (polymerizes and crosslinks) when mixed with a catalyzing agent or "hardener". Most common epoxy resins are produced from a reaction between epichlorohydrin and bisphenol A. This gives an inherently rigid, long cure system with excellent chemical resistance, adhesion and thin film cure.
