Resins made by the reaction of epoxides or oxiranes with other materials such as amines, alcohols, phenols, carboxylic acids, acid anhydrides, and unsaturated compounds.
suspected human carcinogens.
A flexible resin made using phenols and used chiefly in coatings, adhesives, electrical laminants and composites for its excellent adhesion, strength and chemical resistance.
Straight-chain thermoplastics and thermosetting resins based on ethylene oxide, its derivatives or homologues.
film formers usually made from bisphenol
Synthetic resins belonging to the epoxide (oxirane) group, usually in the form of glycidyl ethers or esters, used in the manufacture of electrical insulating materials, adhesives, coatings and structural laminates. Low molecular weight epoxy resins may be skin sensitisers. Although a few epoxides, including some occurring naturally, have been shown to be carcinogenic, commercially available epoxy resins are not carcinogenic and have low toxicity.
Plastic or resinous materials used for strong, fast-setting adhesives, as heat resistant coatings and binders etc.
Chemical compounds bearing two or more epoxide (or oxirane) groups per molecule.
straight-chain thermosetting resins containing at least one three-membered ring consisting of two carbon atoms and one oxygenation.
Based on ethylene oxide, its derivatives or homologs, epoxy resins form straight-chain thermoplastics and thermosetting resins, e.g., by the condensation of bisphenol and epichlorohydrin to yield a thermoplastic which is converted to a thermoset by active hydrogen-containing compounds, e.g., polyamines, dianhydrides.
A specific type of chemical structure based on ethylene oxide.
