What Is an Epoxy Resin?
An epoxy resin is a structural adhesive product that is often mixed with a catalyst to form an extremely strong bond between a range of materials including metal, wood, and glass. The resins come in a variety of different cure temperatures, cure times, and flexibility suitable to the job in question. Other characteristics can include a range of different colours and transparencies as well as resistance to water and fuel. Most resins or glycidyl or non-glycidyl with additional subcategories that have certain applications. Some resins will harden at room temperature for ease of use, though the process can be sped up by applying heat.
Typically thinner than epoxy adhesive for pourability, aerospace epoxy resins have many potential uses. They provide high-strength structural bonding between dissimilar materials which is vital for aviation, public transportation, shipbuilding, and other industries. Epoxy resins are a popular coating and sealant that protects surfaces against weathering. Professional artists also use epoxy resin for casting jewellery and tumblers or making decorative tables and chairs.
