Three major characteristics and advantages of epoxy resin application

Epoxy resin is a polymer material with a wide range of applications.Epoxy resin plays an important role in industrial production and daily life with its various performance advantages and wide application fields.

1. It has great flexibility and diversity in formulation design.Able to design the best formula with strong pertinence according to different performance and process requirements.However, each optimal formula has a certain scope of application and is not suitable for use under any process conditions or arbitrary use conditions.Different optimal formulas must be designed according to different conditions.Since the curing principles of epoxy resin curing systems with different formulations are not exactly the same, the curing process of epoxy resin, that is, the curing process conditions, have a great influence on the structure and properties of epoxy cured products.The same formula can have very different properties under different curing conditions.Therefore, correctly designing the best material formula and process design is the key to epoxy resin application technology and also where the technical secrets lie.It is necessary to have a deep understanding and master the structure and properties of epoxy resins and their curing agents, modifiers, etc., the reaction mechanism between them, and their influence on the structure and properties of epoxy cured products.

2. Different epoxy resin curing systems can cure at low temperature, room temperature, medium temperature or high temperature, can cure on wet surfaces or even in water, can cure quickly or slowly, so it has strong adaptability to construction and manufacturing process requirements.Epoxy resin can be low-pressure molded or contact-pressed, thus reducing the requirements for molding equipment and molds, reducing investment and reducing costs.

3. Among the three general-purpose thermosetting resins, epoxy resin is relatively expensive, which has a certain impact on its application.However, due to its excellent performance, it is mainly used in situations where high performance is required, especially in fields with high comprehensive performance requirements.
