Epoxy resin

What properties distinguish epoxy resin?

Epoxy resin is a versatile 2K resin system that forms a highly stable structure through the combination of resin and hardener. It is characterized by high mechanical strength, excellent chemical resistance, and low shrinkage. Especially in the production of composite components such as GFRP (glass fiber reinforced plastic) and CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic), epoxy resin is indispensable because it creates a strong bond with glass fiber fabric or carbon fiber fabric. Additionally, it is ideal as topcoat resin, primer resin, or floor resin for the protection and sealing of surfaces. Due to its excellent adhesion properties, it can be used in mold making resin or as filler resin for repairs.

What types of epoxy resin exist?

There are different types of epoxy resin that have specific properties depending on the application:

> Primer resin
This epoxy resin is used for the grounding and sealing of surfaces before further laminating or coating processes take place. It improves the adhesion of subsequent layers and ensures even impregnation of the substrate. It is especially used in boat and vehicle technology as well as in construction.

> Mold making resin
Specifically developed for mold and tool making, this epoxy resin allows for accurate reproduction of components. It is characterized by low shrinkage, high heat resistance, and excellent shape stability, making it ideal for complex negative molds.

> Laminating resin
This epoxy resin is used to create strong fiber-reinforced composites in combination with glass fiber, carbon fiber, or aramid fibers. It offers high mechanical strength, is easy to process, and is used in boat building, vehicle construction, and industry.

> Infusion resin
Specifically developed for the vacuum infusion process, this epoxy resin allows for a bubble-free, highly durable laminate structure. It has a low viscosity for optimal impregnation of reinforcement fibers, making it particularly suitable for high-quality composite components.

> Adhesive resin
This 2K epoxy resin is used for high-strength, structural bonding. It provides excellent adhesion to various materials, including metals, plastics, and composite materials. It is particularly used in aerospace, automotive, and boat building.

> Topcoat resin
Developed for surface coating, this epoxy resin protects materials from mechanical and chemical stress. It is used in boat building, for outdoor coatings, and as corrosion protection.

> Casting resin
This epoxy resin is ideal for making molded parts, art objects, and decorative elements. Due to its good flowing properties and bubble-free nature, it is often used for tabletops, jewelry, and electronics encapsulation.

> Filler resin
A high-strength epoxy resin, specifically developed for repairs and surface modeling. It is known for its high impact resistance and is used in boat building, vehicle construction, and model making.

> Aquarium resin, terrarium resin
These special epoxy resins are food-safe, water-resistant, and chemical-resistant. They are ideal for coating aquariums, terrariums, and moist environments to ensure long-term durability.

> Floor resin, surface resin
Developed for the sealing and coating of floors, this epoxy resin offers high abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, and a smooth, easy-to-clean surface. It is commonly used in industrial halls, workshops, and garages.
 

What are the advantages of epoxy resin over other materials?

Compared to polyester resin or vinyl ester resin, epoxy resin offers significantly higher strength and lower water absorption, making it especially suitable for boat building and aquarium construction. As terrarium resin, it provides a safe and long-lasting coating. Unlike metals like aluminum, epoxy resin is lightweight while still being highly load-bearing, making it ideal for use in aerospace and automotive industries. Its excellent adhesion properties also make it ideal for adhesive resin applications, such as the structural bonding of composite materials. The processing options are diverse, whether for laminating, infusing, or casting. Thanks to its high chemical resistance, epoxy resin is also suitable for use in laboratories and industrial facilities. With its self-leveling properties, it can be easily applied to floors or work surfaces. Epoxy resin coatings provide long-term protection against abrasion, moisture, and mechanical stress. Epoxy resin is becoming increasingly popular in DIY projects – whether for epoxy tables, jewelry, or artistic decorations. Those looking to buy epoxy resin benefit from a durable, versatile, and easy-to-use material.
 

Where is epoxy resin used?

Due to its versatility, epoxy resin is used in numerous fields. As laminating resin, it is used to produce high-strength composite components, and as casting resin for the production of molds, tabletops, or decorative elements. In industry, it is used as floor resin for sealing concrete surfaces, while in boat building, it serves as topcoat resin to provide a durable, waterproof surface. It is also used in the modeling and electronics industries as encapsulation resin for protecting sensitive components.
