Resins which may be of widely different structures but are characterized by the presence of the epoxy group. (The epoxy or epoxide group is usually present as a glycidyl ether, glycidyl amine, or as part of an aliphatic ring system. The aromatic type epoxy resins are normally used in composites.)
A synthetic resin produced by the reaction of epichlorohydrin and bisphenol. Epoxy resins may be used alone (unmodified) or modified with drying oils (epoxy esters) for coating vehicles.
Synthetic resin characterized by the presence of the epoxy group, derived from petroleum products that can be cured by a catalyst or used to upgrade other synthetic resins to form a harder, more chemically resistant film. This resin possesses high mechanical strength, good adhesion, and resistance to solvents, acids, alkali, and corrosion. It usually does not weather well.
a very tough THERMOSETTING resin used as a coating, or reinforced to make mouldings or laminates
A polymer resin characterized by epoxide molecule groups.
(flooring) Produced by combining epoxide resin, fillers, aggregate and hardener. It can be laid over a cement screed, plywood or other surfaces. It provides a thin hardwearing layer available in numerous colours and textures. It can be made non-slip if required.
A bonding agent of synthetic resin used to bond glass in laminations and sculpture constructions. Equatorial: Reference to the middle width of a bead perpendicular to its hole.
Thermosetting resins in boat work of a two-part type, that when combined, cure and form into a extremely hard and tough product. They will adhere well to virtually any material, shrink less than polyester resins, have generally greater strength, and absorb less water, although they are much more expensive.
Varnishes, adhesives, paints and caulking., Highly allergenic and sensitising. A suspected carcinogen. Inert once fully cured.
a thermosetting resin; used chiefly in strong adhesives and coatings and laminates
a cross-linking resin the reactivity of which depends on the epoxide group
a far more durable adhesive for this purpose, but it isn't as fast
A thermosetting resin used in tooling applications.
A common thermoset material used as a bonding matrix to hold fibers together. When mixed with a catalyst, epoxy resins are resistant to chemicals and water and are unaffected by heat or cold.
A type of synthetic resin (good insulating plastic) that is widely used for encapsulating electronic devices because its properties of high strength and low shrinkage.
An adhesive consisting of two viscous constituents which, when mixed together, react to form a solid mass.
Plastic materials that become hard, infusible solids upon the addition of a hardening agent. Epoxy resins have excellent adhesive action, high chemical, solvent, and thermal resistance, and low shrinkage on curing.
A synthetic, colorless adhesive used either to hold colored glass onto a clear glass base, known as applique, or for setting glass in dalle de verre.
An epoxy composition used as a chemical resistant setting adhesive or chemical resistant grout.
usually a two part bonder that holds all the components of the composite material together. Many manufacturers use the much cheaper and less durable polyester resin.
A polymerizable thermoset polymer containing one or more epoxide groups and curable by reaction with amines, alcohols, phenols, carboxylic acids, acid anhydrides, and mercaptans. An important matrix resin in composites and structural adhesives. Epoxy Resin
