Epoxy is a go-to material for many industries because it’s strong, waterproof and lightweight. Its uses can essentially be divided into two categories: First, epoxy is often used as an adhesive to permanently bond objects together. Second, epoxy is used to create a lightweight, durable, scratch-resistant coating. Epoxy and Reactions Epoxy’s strength and durability comes from the reaction between resins that creates a strong adhesive bond. Epoxy curing is an exothermic reaction. Epoxies that haven’t cured properly generally have poor chemical, mechanical, and heat resistance properties. Epoxy Curing Time Epoxy curing time depends on the chemistry of the hardener. Some […]
