What is epoxy resin?
2022-08-30

Epoxy Resin refers to a substance that is hardened and molded by the reaction of epoxy groups (oxirane). It is usually composed of resin, hardener, accelerator, diluent, modifier, filler and other additives.

Epoxy resin has been widely used in the fields of adhesion, coatings, composite materials, electronics, motors, etc. It has three main advantages:

1. The hardening shrinkage rate of epoxy resin is very low, and the dimensional stability is very good.

2. The chemical properties of epoxy resin are very stable, and it will not be eroded and destroyed by common acids and bases, chemicals and industrial solvents.

3. Epoxy resin has excellent adhesion to many materials, and it has high-strength mechanical properties. It can withstand long-term environmental stress and has a high degree of reliability.

In fact, the biggest advantage of epoxy resin is its variability. Through the adjustment of the composition formula, it can be cured quickly, or it can be left for a long time without reacting. It can become a hard glue, or it can be made into Flexible soft rubber.
