Epoxies

Epoxies represent perhaps the best combination of corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. Epoxies reinforced with fiberglass have very high strengths and resistance to heat. Chemical resistance of the epoxy resin is excellent in non-oxidizing and weak acids but not good against strong acids. Alkali resistance is excellent in weak solutions. Chemical resistance of epoxy-glass laminates may be affected by any exposed glass in the laminate. Epoxies are available as castings, extrusions, sheet, adhesives, and coatings. They are used as pipe, valves, pumps, small tanks, containers, sinks, bench tops, linings, protective coatings, insulation, adhesives, dies for forming metal, etc.
