Chemical Industry-Epoxy resins

Epoxy resins are versatile polymers used in the manufacture of adhesives, coatings, and structural parts needed by the automotive, marine, off-shore, aerospace and aircraft industries.

In the construction industry, epoxy resins are the preferred materials for non-slip, easy to clean and chemicals barrier surfaces. They are the adhesives of choice due to their excellent adhesion to steel and concrete.

Epoxy resins are used in many paints for automotive, refrigerators, electric household appliances, etc.

Epoxy resins have excellent strength and electric insulation properties. They are used in the electronic industry for printed circuits boards (in mixture with fiberglass) and to encapsulate electronic components (to protect them from damage).

Storage tanks, pipes, appliances, and food and drink cans all benefit from durable coatings made from epoxy resins.

Their adhesive properties are especially useful to combine different materials in sport equipment such as skis, tennis rackets, windsurfer, boats, etc.

Epoxy resins have excellent adhesive properties and are applied in two-components glues, for industry and domestic applications (especially in "do-it-yourself").
