Epoxy - Chemical Resistance
Chemical resistance of Epoxy to common products as Acetic acid, Alcohol, Diesel oil and more
Sponsored Links
Epoxy (polyepoxide) is an epoxide polymer that cures when mixed with a catalyzing agent or "hardener". Epoxy resin have an excellent electrical, thermal, and chemical resistance. It is common to increase the strength of epoxy with fibrous reinforcement or mineral fillers. The variety of combinations of epoxy resins and reinforcements provides a wide latitude in properties obtainable in molded parts.
The table below can be used as an indication of epoxy resistance to chemical compounds. Always check the chemical resistance with the epoxy manufacturer.
