a polymer-based substance where oxygen and carbon atoms bond in a unique way; used in paints and adhesives; usually a two-component paint system where the components are mixed to achieve the chemical reaction that results in a hard and durable finish
Extremely tough and durable synthetic resin used in some coatings Epoxy coatings are extremely tough, durable and highly resistant to chemicals, abrasion, moisture and alcohol
Epoxy resin or adhesive contains an artificial substance which sets hard when it is heated or when pressure is applied to it. Any of a class of thermosetting polymers, polyethers built up from monomers with an ether group that takes the form of a three-membered epoxide ring. The familiar two-part epoxy adhesives consist of a resin with epoxide rings at the ends of its molecules and a curing agent containing amines or anhydrides. When mixed, these react to yield, after curing, a complex network with ether groups linking the monomers. Stable, tough, and resistant to corrosive chemicals, epoxies are excellent adhesives and useful surface coatings
A synthetic resin, derived from petroleum products, that can be cured by a catalyst or used to upgrade other synthetic resins to form a harder, more chemical resistant film
A polymerizable thermoset polymer containing one or more epoxide groups and curable by reaction with amines alcohols, phenols carboxylic acids, acid anhydrides, and mercaptans
A two-part resin/hardener glue that is extremely strong It is generally available in 6 and 30-minute formulas Used for critical points in the aircraft where high strength is necessary
Thermosetting resins that, in the uncured form, contain one or more reactive epoxide or oxirane groups These epoxide groups serve as cross-linking points in the subsequent curing step, in which the uncured epoxy is reacted with a curing agent or hardener Cross-linking is accomplished through the epoxide groups as well as through hydroxyl groups that may be present Most conventional unmodified epoxy resins are produced from epichlorohydrin (chloropropylene oxide) [CH2OCHCH2Cl] and bisphenol A [(CH3)2C(C6H4OH)2] The other types of epoxy resins are phenoxy resins, novolac resins, and cycloaliphatic resins Epoxy resins are used as protective coatings, bonding adhesives, in building and construction, and for electrical , and many other uses
A 2-part adhesive system consisting of resin and hardener It does not start to harden until the elements are mixed together NOT compatible with Fiberglas® Resin
A tough, water-resistant and chemical-resistant polymer or coating, adhesive or patching material made with this type polymer; usually made with two components blended at time of application
Any of numerous synthetic resin compounds, usually thermosetting, which are capable of forming tight cross-linked polymer structures characterized by toughness, strong adhesion and high corrosion and chemical resistance Used for making casts and as a high-strength glue
Any of various thermosetting resins capable of forming tight cross-linked polymer structures characterized by toughness, strong adhesion, and low shrinkage
A thermoplastic resin formed by combining epichlorohydrin and bisphenols Requires a curing agent for room temperature or elevated temperature hardening Has outstanding adhesion, strength and excellent chemical resistance
Any of various resins capable of forming tight, cross-linked polymer structures characterized by toughness, strong adhesion, and corrosion resistance Commonly used as a two-part adhesive
