Epoxy resins arecharacterized by epoxy equivalent (EEVV)/epoxy value, hydrolysablechlorinecontent, total chlorine content, viscosity/softening point, volatile content,colour, clarity, hydroxyl value, ionic iron, sodium and chlorine contents. Epoxyresins are a group of synthetic resins, which are used to make adhesives andplastics. Owing to their versatility, high resistance to chemicals, durability,excellent adhesion, toughness, high electrical resistance, strong durability atboth low and high temperatures, and ease they offer while pouring on castwithout forming any bubbles, epoxy resins are becoming an integral part ofvarious commercial and industrial sectors.
Epoxybased solution coatings are used in maintenance and product finishes, marinefinishes, masonry finishes, structure steel coatings and tank coatings,aircraft finishes, appliance primers, automotive primers, car and drum linings,furniture finishes and collapsible tube coatings.
