Can You Vary the Ratio of Resin to Hardener to Speed It Up or Slow It Down?
Epoxy resin systems typically comprise of two main parts: a Part A resin and a Part B hardener. These two parts need to have the right ratio for the system to work properly. Typically, a chemist will calculate this ratio chemically to ensure a well-balanced system. With the right ratio of resin to hardener, the […]
Polyurethane vs. Epoxy
Although many people use the terms polyurethane and epoxy interchangeably, they are actually two distinct types of coating with their own properties and advantages. As they are both hardwearing resin systems, each one functions well in busy plants or other facilities where physical impacts are common. However, with such a wide range of polyurethane and […]
Diamond Clear Epoxy 101: Table Top Epoxy vs. Casting Epoxy
As a way of adding protection and gloss to items, Diamond Clear Epoxy are widely used for bars, tabletops, river tables, jewelry, and much more. Epoxy resins are a popular product used for various applications. However, determining the best type of epoxy for your project can be difficult. Two common types of epoxies are table […]
Applications of High-Temperature Epoxies
Epoxy resins adhere and cure on hard surfaces, providing a versatile polymer adhesive. Beyond their temperature-resistance capabilities, high-temperate epoxies feature many favorable qualities, including resistances to moisture, chemicals, impact, and corrosion. High-temperature epoxies maintain their properties even when exposed to extreme temperatures. Harsh industrial environments rely on high-temperature epoxy coatings over other adhesive types because […]
Selecting the Right Epoxy Resin for Your Application
Epoxy resin has many industrial applications and possesses greater thermal and chemical resistance – as well as strengthened mechanical properties – than other types of resin. When in liquid form, epoxy resin is poured into a mold or painted over a material in layers to create a protective outer coating. After curing, the material hardens […]
