Epoxy resins

Epoxy resin is a thermoplastic resin that is made from epoxy groups and a crosslinker that react with each other under certain conditions. It is known for its high strength, is heat resistant and can withstand high loads without breaking or deforming.

Another advantage of epoxy resin is that it is chemical resistant, making it particularly suitable for applications in wet or aggressive environments. It is often used as an adhesive, coating or laminate in the construction of boats and more.

In the adhesive industry, epoxy resins are used in epoxy adhesives. These adhesives, like epoxy resins, are very durable. This makes them ideal for applications where high chemical resistance is required or the joint is exposed to a very humid environment.

Epoxy adhesives are often sold in the form of two-component systems in which the epoxy resin and the crosslinker are packaged separately and only need to be mixed together immediately before use. These types of adhesives require precise dosage and careful processing to achieve optimal performance.
