Epoxy resin

A high-performance thermosetting polymer used for structural bonding, protective coatings, and composite manufacturing.

Epoxy resin is a versatile chemical compound formed by reacting epichlorohydrin with bisphenol A (BPA). Its 2:1 or 1:1 mix ratios trigger a cross-linking reaction, resulting in a durable plastic with high tensile strength (often exceeding 7,000 psi) and exceptional chemical resistance. Industry leaders like West System and Hexion provide formulations for marine hulls, aerospace carbon fiber layups, and industrial flooring. Because it bonds effectively to wood, metal, and glass, it remains the gold standard for applications requiring low shrinkage and high moisture exclusion.
