An epoxy resin-based plastic that is recyclable, repairable and flame retardant has been developed at Empa, the Swiss federal laboratories for materials science and technology. The new epoxy resin is ...

Plastics Today: Could corn-derived chemical replace BPA in polycarbonate and epoxy resins?

Epoxy is the family of basic components or cured end products of epoxy resins, also known as polyepoxides, a class of reactive prepolymers and polymers which contain epoxide groups. The epoxide functional group is also collectively called epoxy. [1] The IUPAC name for an epoxide group is an oxirane.

Find durable epoxy solutions that bond to metal, wood, glass, ceramic, and plastic materials effectively.

In this guide, we will take you through the chemistry, types, properties, and applications of epoxy resins. You will also learn how sustainability requirements are shaping the epoxy thermosetting composites industry.

An epoxy is a two-part adhesive that forms when you mix epoxy resin and hardener. The two substances are stored in different containers and are only mixed together when you’re ready for gluing – which you can do using a double syringe, for example.

Epoxy resin is one of the most adaptable materials available today, with applications spanning nearly every major industry. Its strength, chemical resistance, and versatile finishes make it a top choice for both functional and decorative uses.
